ABSTRACT
The present study aims to explore the effect of academic stress on academic achievement of visually impaired students. 40 high school students (20 boys and 20 girls) of residential school participated in the study. The objectives of the study were i). To identify the main sources of stress in visually impaired students ii) To study the difference in academic stress level of male and female visually impaired students iii) To study of the impact of academic stress on academic achievement of visually impaired students. Academic stress scale was used to measure the level of stress experienced by the student and marks of midterm exam were taken as a measure of academic achievement of the students. Statistical analysis was conducted to find out the effect of academic stress on academic achievement. The result shows that highly stressed students scored less marks and students with low stress performed well in the exam. There is a strong negative correlation between academic stress and academic achievement. Also, girl students showed high level of academic stress vis-à-vis boy students.
