Abstract	Nowadays stress has a great impact in our daily life as well as the students and teachers’ life. Stress has a significant role in the field of higher education, specifically among postgraduate students’ lives. The main objective of the study was to examine whether stress influences academic achievement. A quantitative correlational design was adopted and t-test had been done for the study. By using relevant sampling techniques 287 students were selected as the sample for the study. Data regarding students’ stress level and academic achievement were collected through a standardized questionnaire and the students’ academic record cards. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and t-test method were used to analyse the collected data regarding the students’ stress level and their academic achievement. This study found a very weak negative correlation between the stress and academic achievement of PG students.
