The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between mental health and personality characteristics among students. A total of 300 participants were randomly selected from Tarakeswar Degree College Hooghly and HETC Hooghly, West Bengal. Mental health was measured by mental health inventory and personality characteristics were measured by neo-five factor inventory. Correlation, regression and independent t-test were used for analyzing the data. The result shows that there is significant correlation between mental health and personality characteristics. The multiple regression analysis using the stepwise method found agreeableness, neuroticism and openness as significant predictors of mental health. Finally independent t-test found no significant difference at the mean scores of professional and non-professional students’ mental health and personality characteristics in terms of gender.
