Abstract

Current research examined the impact of academic stress on students and the subsequent impact on their academic performance based on higher education institutions (HEIs) in Karachi. The data was collected using the convenience sampling technique from BS students from NED University of engineering and technology, Karachi with using a modified questionnaire with a simple chi square statistical test. Students of all faculties and also all years of students are included in this study (1st year to final year students). There are many different sorts of stress, but this research largely focuses on the academic stress that students nowadays frequently experience. A barrier prevents students who are under academic stress from reaching their potential. This research also looks at the key sources of academic stress. The researchers have made an effort to identify the primary reason for this stress, whether it be household or professional. It has been proven that student depression brought on by academic stress has a detrimental impact on their academic performance and learning outcomes. Parents, teachers, professional social workers, and other stakeholders who are concerned about the education and performance of their children can benefit from the information provided by this research study.
