Introduction
Education is one of the means to reduce these kinds of hurdles, students in many
countries are not even getting basic education, literacy and numeric skills. Indian children
who enrole in schools don’t even have the access of complete education. Schools are
overcrowded children spend many years without getting basic knowledge of reading, writing
or life skills. Brooking Institutions says, approximately 200 million children who are in
primary school are learning little that they are struggling to read basic words. Various
evidence shows that educations in schools tend to uplift their health, economy and individual
earnings. UNESCO (2010) estimates that approximately 171 million people could be lifted
out of poverty if all students in low income countries learn basic reading skills in schools.
Over 50% of the World's children are brought up in stressful conditions.
Literature of Review
According to Agolla (2009) Stress has become an important topic in academic circles.
Many scholars in the field of behavioral science have carried out extensive research on stress
and its outcomes and concluded that the topic needed more attention
According to Krishnan Lal (2013), the students today are facing with new challenges
in education calling for greater effort from students. In addition there are heavy demands
made by the society on students to perform various roles, many of which are undefined,
inconsistent and unachievable in the present socio-cultural, economic and bureaucratic
contexts of our society, causing heavy stress on students mainly high school students.
Students in their teens are the ones who are going through the transitional phase, which is an
intermediate of childhood and adulthood. Stress is believed to be caused by the various
problems that exist such as problems at school, colleges, financial problems, family problems
and problems in their surroundings.

According to Marwan Zaid Bataineh (2013) the study investigated the academic
stressors experienced by the students at university. A total sample of 232 subjects participated
in this study were obtained from faculty of education at KSU. The result showed that
academic overloads, course awkward, inadequate time to study, workload every semester,
exams awkward, low motivation, and high family expectations were drive moderately stress
among students. It was also found that fear of failure is the major source of stress among
undergraduate students. Lastly, the study found that there were no significant differences in
academic stress among students with different, level of study and specializations.
According to Rajasekar (2013) the study examined the impact of academic stress
among the management students. Stress management encompasses techniques to equip a
person with effective coping mechanisms for dealing with psychological stress. Students have
different expectations, goals and values that they want to fulfill, which is only possible if they
are integrated with that of the institution. The objective of the study is to find out the present
level of stress, sources of stress and stress management techniques that would be useful for
management students. The study takes into account various criteria like physical,
psychological, individual, demographical and environmental factors of stress among the
management students.
Stress and Mental Health
Stress can be defined by various means of psychological, emotional, mental, physical
and in other forms. It mainly starts from unhealthy environment which can be from the
unexpected childhood and goes till lifelong. There are various studies saying that Indians are
the highest sufferers of stress due to lack of employment, intimate
relationships,betrayal,unexpected childhood,etc. this has sometimes lead the childhood to
intimate relationships with peer groups which is often justified by stressors to get rid out of
stress. In order to get out of stress they get addicted to smoking, consuming liquor and drugs
are common among adolescent and adults. One in four people in the world will be affected by
mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people
currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of
ill-health and disability worldwide. Presently in India alone there around 3.5 percent of
stressors in which 10 to 17 percent of them are in the primary stages of stress. Many of them
do not know that they are affected by stress and if they know they are affected by stress they
do not know how and where toget treatment. Often they fear that the society will think

themselves as lunatic or psychos. Stress is mostly likely to be common among male


especially between the age group of 20 to 25 years. WHO (2001) predicts that 20% of India’s
population will suffer from some form of mental illness by the year 2020. We are woefully
under-equipped to handle mental health issues on such a large scale.
Stress and Education
India has made education compulsory and free to all its citizens make it as the basic
and fundamental right which is guaranteed by the constitution. The education system is
entirely different compared with other countries of the west we have millions of graduates
who do not have proper employment. This makes us think whether the education system must
be renovated to the world standard
The below table shows the number of enrolment of students in higher education in
India according the Census Report 2011.The female divide is low compared with male in
higher education both sharing 74.04 percent as an national average. Female higher education
is always compared worldwide where in India also the education right has been neglected.

Stress does not spare students either. With the admission season going on now, it does
not help to know that the cut-off percentage for admission to many colleges has seen a
meteoric rise. According to a study, 72 per cent of students in India are unaware of how to
deal with stress and its ill-effects. A NIMHANS study has found that 11 per cent of college
students and 7-8 per cent of high school students have attempted suicide because of exam
stress. And, 27.6 per cent of IT professionals in the country are addicted to narcotic drugs,
says the study. According to the Legatum Prosperity Index (2015), India ranks 99 among 142
countries that have been assessed in these sectors. Education, being the most fundamental
need of any developing country, should be the number one priority for India. In education
sector, our country ranks 92, which is way behind the ranks of other developing countries
such as Philippines (76), Malaysia (51), Sri Lanka (59) and many more. It may have a
resemblance that our country is behind other neighboring countries in the field of education.
Not only in India had students worldwide faced various forms of academic stress. Many of
them commit suicide due to the failure of examination, depression anxiety and make their
lives riskier. It is quite common when it comes to board exams of 10th and 12th standard
where many incidents of students committing suicides occur. One side the parental pressure
and schools forcing the students to score marks in the board exams who go to the extreme
level. Cable connections, internet, games are being restricted for students to concentrate in
education which is often done by parents. They threaten the students to achieve better grades
for finding better educational institutions makes them more stressful. Especially students who
are studying in the science streams are more likely to be stressful due to higher competitions
in entrance examinations to enter college and universities.
In fact, India has one of the highest rate of suicides among people aged between 15
and 29.Two-third (66%) students reported that their parents pressurize them for better
academic performance, and the pressure from non-graduate parents was more compared to
parents those were graduates and post graduates. Everyday, 6.23 students commit suicide due
to the peer pressure, their must be something wrong that we are not understanding. More than
50% 12th students admitted of having more than 3 private tutors.

Statement of the Problem


Stress among students is quite common in the world many of them are not aware that
they are affected by stress. Stress in academic institutions is now a day’s higher as they may
create negative and positive impact if it is not treated properly. Especially in academic
institutions the working and organizational setup is entirely different when compared with
non academic institutions were the stress level of the students would also differ. The students
who are in the science streams are more likely to be under stress when compared with arts
stream students. Most of the students who enter into the undergraduate levels have more
stress as the entire subjects are different. Meanwhile the students who have even scored good
marks in their board exams in 12th exams also feel the difficulty to score good marks. Till the
board exams and the concept of merit makes them more stressful when they fail to by hurt the
subjects in colleges. Likewise there are lots of pressures for the present generation especially
to learn more and more than the past generations for their better future. Many academic
institutions in the form of maintaining discipline they make students stressful not allowing
the students to mingle with peer groups, not allowed to speak with girls, heavy and
challenging workload,etc.
Objectives
1. To find out the various components of academic stress experienced by students.
2. To examine the relationship between stress and academic performance of students.
3. To study the impact and causes of stress among students.
Methods
This study utilized the quantitative method of research. As widely accepted, the
quantitative method of research involves adequate and accurate interpretation of findings.
Relatively, this method is appropriate to this study since it aims to describe the present
condition of academic stress. The technique that was used under method is the normative
survey approach and evaluation, which is commonly used to explore opinions according to
respondents that can represent a whole population. The survey is appropriate in this study
because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations.
Participants
The present study attempts to find out stress among college students in various fields
of arts and science streams. The study compromises of 200 students selected randomly from
various academic institutions in and around Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu.

The socio-economic conditions play an important role in studying the problems of


stress faced by students particularly on gender, age group, education and marital status. Those
who come from healthy environment background are having the lowest proportion of stress
and those who come from unhealthy environment background has the highest proportion of
stress. Likewise, in India the social and economic status plays a very important role even in

Environment plays an important role in shaping the individual behavior, perception,
attitudes and values. A peaceful environment would make an individual stress free and
mental healthier without any forms of hindrances. But most of the situation in our country
doesn’t have healthy environment where there are garbage fills, pollution, unhealthy
conditions to live, poor hygiene and sanitation. When it comes to students they are mostly
brought up from unhealthy conditions from various environment often get stressed while

Emotionally students face various obstacles in academic institutions it differs from
each and every environment. Most of the academic institutions have co education but the
students do not have the space to speak with each other. Especially boys should not speak
with girls which is said to be a discipline in their institutions. This attracts parents where
many are ready to admit their girl child in these kinds of institutions. Even in their
classrooms, buses also girls have separate buses and sometimes there might be partition in for
boys and girls. They are not encouraged to involve in group discussion and participate in
classroom activity. These kinds of situations makes students stressful emotionally by creating
depression, anger, unwanted thoughts, lack of concentration,fear,agitation,etc. Out of 200
respondents, 86 (43 percent) respondents have the emotional symptoms of depression, 114

Conclusion and Recommendations
Stress among students can be solved by various practices, they need to pay attention
in their own well being. The right balance of sleep, food, exercise, work, recreation can easily
solve the problems of stress.
• Firstly, the education system is not helping to develop personality of students rather it
produces only academic qualification.
• Most of the students are not fully exposed outside world which does not develop personality.
Instead it builds stress and fear among students about their future and employment.
• Secondly, the medium of language of our education system is also a problem which has to be
yet addressed. Mostly there is no choice of what medium of our education system is
necessary. Now also English is emphasized in many academic institutions where majority of
students who come rural background and educated in mother tongue face the difficulty.
• Thirdly, the subjects which are thought in many academic institutions are not relevant to
employment. Fresh graduates who go out from academic institutions lack out from proper
communication skills which are much required for employment.

• Skills which are required by various organizations are not taught for students in academic
institutions. This makes them stressful that they are unemployed and cannot fulfill their
families’ livelihood. Many freshers do not get the right job as per their academic
qualification. Apart from this many academic institutions do not have proper infrastructure
for students where these institutions pressurize by collecting various capitation fees. These
kinds of fees and various forms of penalties make students stressful. Parental pressure not
allowing their children to choose their career and imposing their choice of choosing a
discipline should be avoided. Likewise the only way to treat stress is to buildup a strong
relationship with students, faculty members, parents and peer groups. This may lead the
students to interact their problems with their parents, faculty members and others.
