Life skills are the abilities that help to promote mental well being and competence in young people as they face the realities of life. When it comes to life and soft skills, nursing is a field that demands plenty. University students have to manage their time and also look for sources in order to accomplish their assignments; a challenging job to handle, in particular, for first year students. Failure in such condition would lead to poor chances of academic success. A Cross sectional descriptive survey design was used to assess life skills among 40 first year nursing students of selected College of Nursing by using The Life Skills Assessment Scale (Radhakrishnan Nair A, Subasree R and Sunitha Ranjan, 2009). The results revealed that mean life skills score was 369?23. In relation to global life skills score majority 30 (75%) of them were having average life skills and 2 (5%) of them having very low score in life skills. There was no association between life skills scores and socio demographic variables of students.
