Abstract: This research focuses on examining the psychological capital of 900 engineering students in relation to their chosen engineering streams. Adopting a descriptive research method, the study utilized a sample drawn from various research institutes within a delimited area. The psychological capital assessment scale developed by R. Rani and M. Choudhary was employed to measure self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience among the participants. Both descriptive and comparative analyses were employed to scrutinize the data. The findings of the study suggest that there is no significant difference in the psychological capital among students from diverse engineering streams. The lack of substantial distinctions implies that the impact of the type of engineering stream on psychological capital is not significant. This conclusion underscores the resilience and psychological well-being of engineering students irrespective of their chosen discipline, highlighting the need for holistic support and interventions that address common psychological factors across various engineering fields. The insights from this research contribute to our understanding of the psychological dynamics within the engineering education landscape and can inform educators, counsellors, and policymakers in developing strategies to enhance the overall well-being of engineering students.
