Stress and conflicts are the psychological factors which impacts on mental well-being of any person. If a person's mental health is good, they can easily adapt to their surroundings and live stress-free. In stress management, the use of defence mechanisms as well as the conflict resolution ability of an individual plays an important role and have a major impact. A person with strong conflict resolution ability can easily achieve mental peace. The adaptive defence mechanism also assists a person or student in stress management and achieving good mental well-being. This study is qualitative in nature and provides a thorough analytical analysis of the current state of the defence mechanism in regulating conflict resolution ability and students' stress management. The findings revealed that defence mechanisms play an important role in regulating students' conflict resolution abilities and managing stress level. Moreover, defence mechanism can help an individual in conflict resolution and in managing their stress-level, but their effectiveness dependents totally on whether they are adaptive or maladaptive defence mechanism.
