Abstract	This study investigates the relationship between psychological well-being (PWB) and academic achievement among higher secondary school students in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Using stratified random sampling, 1,000 intermediate students from 72 junior colleges were selected. PWB was measured with the Psychological Well-being Scale by Dr. Devendra Singh Sisodia and Ms. Pooja Choudhary, while academic achievement was assessed via aggregate annual examination marks. Descriptive statistics (mean, SD) and inferential statistics (t-tests, Pearson's correlation) were applied. Findings revealed 60% moderate PWB, 20% low, and 20% high levels. Significant differences emerged across gender (females higher, t=5.56, p<0.01), locality (urban higher, t=8.97, p<0.01), and type of college (private higher, t=8.98, p<0.01). A moderate positive correlation (r=0.42, p<0.01) was observed between PWB and academic achievement. The results emphasize the role of demographic factors in PWB and suggest targeted interventions, such as counselling programs and policy reforms under NEP 2020, to improve well-being and scholastic outcomes.
