The pivotal role of psychological fortitude greatly influences the holistic advancement of postgraduate scholars. Employing a meticulously designed survey for gauging the psychological robustness of these individuals, we analysed the prevailing status among a population of 517 postgraduates. The findings reveal that the collective psychological fortitude of the participants surmounts the median level, with familial support scaling the highest, whereas stability ranks the least. Further, noteworthy variances exist in the psychological fortitude among the postgraduates, segmented across six parameters: gender, geographical roots, receipt of accolades, prior leadership experience as student representatives, the presence of discrepancy in master's qualifications, and familial classifications. Stemming from these findings, we propose pertinent recommendations to augment the psychological resilience among postgraduate scholars.
