Although there is a<br>traditional justification for having academic recruitment as a rigorous and complex process (as a practiced<br>method by which to identify the most suitable applicants), the increase of competition across the sector, and<br>the internet revolution, has rendered these older methods partially ineffective. The author argues that<br>recruitment systems and practices need reviewing to overhaul inefficacious elements.</p> Vic Benuyenah ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2022-03-08 2022-03-08 15 2 13 20 http://test.rajagiri.edu/index.php/rmj/article/view/545 <p>The study focuses on academic stress among the students due to insufficient efforts and<br>intrapersonal conflicts amid the COVID-19 situation. The purpose of this study is to measure the mediating<br>role of academic stress between life dissatisfaction and adequate steps and intrapersonal conflicts.</p> Anju Amandeep B.K.
