Academic stress has become a prevalent issue among students, resulting from the numerous expectations placed upon them both internally and externally. Adolescents, in particular, are susceptible to the challenges associated with academic stress during their transitional phase. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the sources and impact of academic stress to develop effective intervention strategies. The study is being conducted to check the appraisal in students of liberal arts, engineering and architecture of their academic stress. The study employed a quantitative research design where participants were screened using Academic Stress Scale (Rajendran & Kaliappan,1991 from three streams namely, Liberal Arts, engineering and architecture. The result obtained demonstrated that the highest levels of stress was observed in students of liberal arts, followed by Architecture and then engineering. Understanding the sources of stress would facilitate the development of effective counselling modules and intervention strategies by psychologists and counsellors in order to help students decrease their stress.
