Hard work and dedication are rewarded by higher test scores in competitive examinations. A lot of the time, this extra effort ends up being a source of tension that eventually gets in the way of the learning process as a whole. As a result, overall exam performance suffers. The vast amount of material that needs to be learned in a short amount of time can make studying for any competitive examination a very stressful experience. We tend to view stress as something universal and manageable. However, chronic stress is the first symptom of mental disease since it slows down the brain's metabolism. The impact on productivity is devastating. In order to better understand stress, pressure, and anxiety and their social aspects, as well as to identify the various factors that are responsible for stress, pressure, & anxiety, and the ill effects of stress, pressure, and anxiety on their health and daily lives, a t-test was conducted on students preparing for various competitive exams. The aim of this study is to find out the competitive examination stress, pressure & anxiety among students of higher education institutions (HEIs) during exam & secondly to compare the level of (degree/diploma/any courses) competitive examination stress, pressure & anxiety students of higher education institutions (HEIs) during exam.
