This paper researched upon the cross-connection between social support, academic support, and well-being among a diverse sample of 190 university students, comprising 64 international and 126 Indian students. Investigating how interpersonal connections involving emotional support and educational assistance intersect, the research aims to shed light on the impact of these factors on individuals' psychological and emotional states of these vertos. It covers a crucial gap in existing literature by exploring the alliance between social support and academic success, recognizing their joint impact on well-being. Understanding the mutual linkage between these elements can provide valuable insight into how social support and academic support influence the well-being of crosscultural students to further establish the development of interventions and support mechanisms. The findings revealed a positive correlation between social support and well-being, indicating that higher levels of social support are associated with improved overall well-being for both Indian and international students. Similarly, academic support demonstrated a significant positive relationship with well-being, emphasising the crucial role of educational resources and assistance in fostering a positive mental and emotional state among students. Notably, the study unveiled minor cultural disparities highlighting the similar experiences of Indian and international students. The results of regression analysis further suggest that while social support is a significant predictor of well-being, academic support is not an efficient predictor and thus, better initiatives should be taken by the relevant organisations with respect to creating an upsurge in the social support levels.
