Abstract The concept of self-efficacy (SE) was put forward by Albert Bandura (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997) which refers to one’s belief in their capacity to succeed in a task or goal successfully. Academic anxiety (AA) can be noted as the uneasiness and worry an individual experiences physically and psychologically with regard to their academic achievements and tasks. The physical and psychological distress caused can contribute to interfere with our own ability to complete a given assignment with success. The psychological and physical distress can range from over whelming sense of fear, uneasiness, to increased blood pressure, cold hands and feet, increased heart beat etc. The study aims to explore the association between AA and SE in college students in Bangalore. The present significance of the study is to understand if there exist a relationship between academic anxiety and self-efficacy in the setting of college students as there are limited studies conducted in the Indian context. The study uses quantitative method where questionnaires such as General Self Efficacy Scale and Academic Anxiety Scale was used to collect data from participants. A total of 217 participants (females = 117 and males = 100) took part in the study. The result indicates that there is low negative correlation between AA and SE and there exist no gender difference in AA and SE.
