Self-esteem is the state of being satisfied in many different areas of life. Academic Life Satisfaction is operationally defined as the anticipated fulfillment in one's life in school or college as a result of the achievement of major academic goals or aspirations. Although numerous research has investigated the direct relationship between both variables, little is known about the psychological mechanisms that underlying this association. Although self-presentation is an important process in young adulthood, the main focus of this study was to look at self-promotion and self-deprecation as potential mediators of life happiness and self-esteem. Life satisfaction pertains to how people evaluate their life along with how they feel about their future directions and other options. It is a well-being metric that may be measured in terms of mood, contentment with connections with others and with goals attained, self-concepts, and self-perceived ability to cope with daily life. As a result, this research will be an attempt to go along this road. The study's goal was to find out and analyze the level of life satisfaction among college students. A sample of 103 college students (of both Gender) pursuing Social Work was covered by a Purposive sampling method from the Anugraha Institute of Social Sciences, College, Dindigul.
