The primary purpose of this paper is to highlight the problems faced by students due to this pandemic. COVID-19 broke out in mid-month of December 2019 in Wuhan, China in a few months spread all over the world like electricity. WHO declared this virus as pandemic and students like other individuals are faced withdifferentacute problems such as physiological, psychological, social, socio-economic, socio-emotional, medical and healthcare, safety and security and primarily educational. The increasing cases of this pandemic and deaths all over the world have also created fear among students.Moreover, social distancing, isolation and quarantine have also increased their fear to the extent that cases of suicide are being reported. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the whole education system and led to the closing of all schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions. This virus has severely affected all stakeholders of these institutions, also including billions of students in the world. Since students face various other problems apart from the ones mentioned, they find it difficult to cope with the situation emerging out of the pandemic. On the top of it, the world was not fully prepared to face such pandemic.
