Anxiety is an important construct today, especially in the lives of students, as it affects their mental, physical and social wellbeing. Studies have focused on anxiety disorders of university students, some areas of their manifest anxiety, like academic anxiety, job anxiety, and death anxiety and so on. Currently, no Indian scale has been developed to measure the level of anxiety, of this population except Sinha's Anxiety Scale, constructed in the sixties. The present study outlines the development and validation of an Anxiety Scale for Undergraduate Students (ASUS) to measure their level of anxiety. The ASUS consists of 50 items and is on a 5-point Likert scale. Results of data have demonstrated that the scale has internal reliability and construct validity.
