Need assessment is believed to be a well-defined method to observe tolerance, harmony and coexistence among university students. In this study, different constraints were pointed out in tolerance, harmony and coexistence among university students. This case study was conducted at Government College University, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Since it was a quantitative study, it used a predesigned questionnaire to collect data from students being considered as participants. The level of extremism was found high among students enrolled in M.Phil programs as compared to students enrolled in BS and master programs. The study also found that the level of extremism increased with the increase of students’ age. Based on the findings, it recommends the organization of training sessions for students to decrease the extremism among them. It also recommends that curriculum at different levels should be equipped with anti-extremism content so that extremism among students could be reduced.Keywords:
