Abstract

The current state of the planet, despite the advances in science, technology, and education. In most contexts, the term "education" refers to the acquiring of some form of teaching, information, training, or expertise in any area of human endeavour. However, the environment we live in now features a high level of competition at every turn. The level of competition is quite fierce in the educational sector, as it is in practically every other industry. Pupils live lives that are especially fraught with anxiety due to the many sources of pressure they are subjected to, including that of their peers, professors, and parents. In 2006, the pressure and stress of competitive examinations led to the deaths of six thousand people who committed themselves. Individuals committed suicide when the results of their examinations were announced each year because of their poor performance. India's population is the second largest in the world after China's. As a result, it should not come as much of a surprise that there is intense competition in virtually every industry. The ability to perform better in the work market is facilitated by higher levels of education and graduation from reputable institutions. At all levels of education and work life in every country, there is a sense of competition for good results, grades, and good jobs. However, due to increasing huge stress rate in our country in the recent past, it has highlighted the urgent need to emphasise the seriousness of this domain and suggest the various remedies to combat and minimise the rising undue stress of the faculties. The purpose of this research article is to explore the repercussions of stress among faculty members who are participating in the UGC-NET competitive test and to assess the amount of stress that is caused by the UGC-NET competitive examination among sampled faculties. In the course of this research, the T-test was utilised by collecting data on six primary dimensions that lead to psychological strain. Respondents' responses were collected as primary data, while secondary sources were used to develop the theoretical framework.
