In this study it is found that there is significant difference in anxiety of the of senior secondary school students having arts and science and arts and commerce streams. There is no significant difference of anxiety of senior secondary school students having commerce and science streams. It reveals that the anxiety level of senior secondary school students having comm ercean d low as compared to senior secondary school students having commerce and science streams.
