ABSTRACT
The present study was an attempt to make a comparative analysis of the academic stress of class XII students from the arts, commerce, and science streams. For this purpose, a total of 90 students from class XII were selected, out of which 30 were from the arts stream, 30 from the commerce stream, and 30 from the science stream. The Academic Stress Scale (ASS) by Poorva Jain and Neelam Dixit (2016) is used. This scale comprises 28 items that delve into various aspects of academic-related stressors and concerns, particularly those associated with the fear of academic failure. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of how academic stress varies across different streams, shedding light on potential factors that could be addressed to mitigate stress and enhance the overall well-being of Class XII students.
