<p>Introduction: This is a part of a multicentric study of youth behaviour in various colleges across India. This article was a survey to investigate life partner expectations in college students.<br>Method: The sample included first-year students from an all-women engineering college in Pune (N = 78). A self-designed questionnaire made by AACCI was used to assess these expectations. <br>Results: Perceptions affirmed by the participants included valuation of education, wishing to pursue a career after marriage (x2= 59.9, p <0.001), catering to parents financially even after marriage (x2 = 55.84, p < 0.001), not wanting the potential partner to expect financial aid from their family (100%), wanting acceptance for continuing with their social life including their male friends after marriage (x2 = 52.5, p <0.001), and not wanting a partner to be very fond of religious rituals (x2= 10.05, p < 0.01). It was also reflected in the fact that most of them did not like their husband smoking or drinking (x2= 18.5, p < 0.01) even socially (x2= 4.15, p < 0.05). Analysis of this data was utilised to decide the contents of a workshop on “choosing your life partner” which was <br>subsequently conducted by researchers in the college. <br>Conclusion: It was interesting to analyse the mindset of these young college girls about their life partner expectations. We found the analysis of this data very useful in planning the contents of a workshop on “choosing your life partner” which was subsequently conducted by us in the college.</p> <p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong><br>Bhave SY, Itkarkar S, Shibu SS, Mane S, Kariya P, <br>Sovani A.
