ABSTRACT
The present study examines the general well-being of deaf and hearing Indian students pursuing diploma programs in Indian sign language at MD University, Rohtak. A total of 64 students (41 hearing and 23 deaf, with 33 males and 31 females) with a mean age of 22.44 (SD = 3.14) years participated in the study. To uniformly assess general well-being, psychological distress, and physical distress, the PGI General Well-being Measure and PGI Health Questionnaire N1 were administered to all individuals. The analytical review included inferential methodology (Mann-Whitney U Test) and descriptive metrics (mean and standard deviation). Results highlighted a lack of difference in general well-being scores between hearing and deaf male and female pupils. The discussion that follows places these findings in the context of the earlier studies and clarifies how they affect the group of deaf students.
