Abstract Test anxiety is a situation-specific anxiety that manifests as increased physiological arousal, cognitive worry, and behavioural tension in assessment situations. The present study is significant from both educational and psychological perspectives. The objectives of the study are: (a) to determine the significant difference in test anxiety between male and female undergraduate students, and (b) to analyse the levels of test anxiety among male and female undergraduate students. The researcher put forward one null hypothesis, i.e., there is no significant difference in test anxiety between male and female undergraduate students. The ‘descriptive survey method’ is used to prepare this research article. The population of the study encompass all the undergraduate students of Upper Assam. The sample of the study comprises 136 undergraduate students of Upper Assam. The sample are selected on the basis of their gender using ‘proportionate stratified random sampling technique’. A standardized tool of test anxiety i.e., ‘Test Anxiety Scale’ developed by V. P. Sharma (2022) was used to collect the data. The findings of the study revealed that male and female students are differ significantly in relation to their test anxiety. Female undergraduate students tend to experience comparatively higher levels of test anxiety than male undergraduate students, while male students are comparatively more represented in the low test anxiety category. This pattern indicates that gender differences exist in the distribution of test anxiety levels among undergraduate students.
