ABSTRACT:
The primary research has been conducted on 11th and 12th-grade students from higher socioeconomic strata in India planning to apply for further studies outside the country. The methodology involved a survey conducted on 60 high school students from elite (top- ranked) schools in New Delhi, India. The results indicated that the students experienced high stress levels during the application process, leading to procrastination. This conformed to various research studies that were conducted on students of the same age in other countries of the world. To reduce these high levels of stress for these students various steps have been identified.
