Competition has become a sort of inseparable part which makes students paranoid as well as vulnerable to stress. The examination fever and the necessity for scoring high percentage add to all these problems. This causes a sort of tension and anxiety in their minds.

The stress is more prevalent during the Board Examinations or other competitive examinations.
Sleepless nights, disturbing thoughts, high pulse rate, trembling hands or nervousness are some of the common symptoms of exam fear. There are other problems which many students suffer like lack of self confidence, lack of courage, feeling of insecurity, personality problems, attitudinal problems, fear, lack of communication etc.
