Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the effect of stress on academic performance and personal life of under-graduate students of Tangmarg College of district Baramulla of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Stress is a psychological and physiological response to events that upset our personal balance in some way. For many young adults, schools and college are the best time of life. These critical years can also be undermined by depression, anxiety, and stress. Students who do not cope well with stress have a very drastic effect on their studies and behavior. A sample of 60 students were asked to answer a questionnaire prepared online in google form. The results were presented graphically, inferentially, and descriptively. The objective of the current study was to assess the effect of stress among under-graduate students and its association with various academic performance and personal life related factors. Researcher made questionnaire was used for data collection mailed to the students in google form. Students studying in different streams had stress either in due to their personal reasons or due to academically. It affects them mentally, physically, and emotionally. Students face anxiety and go into depression which later leads to decreased performance in academics. Stress is the body�s reaction to a challenge. This research can help us in finding the reason and the causes of stress thus helping the students in finding a solution to their problems and help them enjoy their college life stress-free and tension-free.
