The present study aims to explore association among socio-demographic characteristics and adult ADHD of students. The sample of the present study comprised of 300 college going students in Manipur within the age group of 17 to 29 years. Out of the 300 college going students, 150 were undergoing professional courses and 150 were undergoing non-professional courses. College drop- outs and those with history of head injury and with other psychiatric / psychological disorders other than ADHD were excluded. Adult ADHD Self- Report Scale (ASRS- v1.1) Symptoms Checklist was used to assess symptoms of adult ADHD. Parameters such as Age- range was found to be insignificant which signifies that adult ADHD persists throughout adult life. Also, parameters such as residence, family annual income, religion, number of siblings and birth order was also found to be statistically insignificant. Result shows significant relationship between symptoms of adult ADHD with the students undergoing professional course and non-professional course. Those undergoing non- professional courses have more symptom of adult ADHD as compared to those undergoing professionalcourses.
