Stress is a significant problem for Secondary students because this is also a stage of one’s life where they deal with many life-changing events. It is essential to identify the cause of the stress among Secondary school students so that we can find ways to effectively intervene it. The objectives of the study are to study the level of stress of the secondary school students, the correlation between stress and academic achievement, and to study whether there exists a significant difference in the level of stress with respect to gender, class and school differences. The Descriptive method of research was adopted. The study covers all the secondary school students in the Mao and Maram areas of the Senapati District, Manipur. For the study, a sample of 200 students from various secondary schools in Mao and Maram of Senapati District, Manipur. The sampling was done on Class IX and X students by using the stratified random sampling technique. The findings of the study show that there exists a positive average level of stress. The levels of stress do not meaningfully impact students’ academic performance in their last examination, gender, and academic level do not significantly influence stress, whereas the school environment has a notable impact on student stress levels.
