After getting exact population, sample size was calculated using Yamane’s Formula and 190 students from the faculty of natural and applied sciences and 210 students from faculty of social sciences and humanities were taken as sample. Data was collected using an adopted questionnaire PSQ by (Levenstein et.al.,1993). The scale had thirty items, and likert scales with five points were used to score the responses. For academic performance CGPA of the student were gathered. Descriptive statistics and correlation test was used to analysis data by using SPSS. According to the results of the correlation analysis, students' academic achievement at Mirpur University of Science and Technology and their perception of stress are positively correlated. There is a strong correlation between pupils' academic achievement and their reported stress. These findings indicate that there must exist some mediating factors that explain why the relationship between students' perceived stress and academic performance turned positive. This opens up a new line of inquiry for researchers in the future to pinpoint the mediating factors that explain why students' perceived stress is improving their academic performance.
