Innovative Behavioral Technique schedule used consisted of three-phased modules for management of stress i.e. cognitive preparation, skill acquisition and application & practice of stress management techniques while observation schedule studies the factors responsible for stress, under four aspects i.e. factors responsible for academic stress, situations showing presence of stress, traits showing presence of good habits and factors showing social acceptance or rejection. By using descriptive statistics, raw data obtained was analyzed and further relevant means, SDs and 2x2x2 ANOVA were computed to draw the conclusion. The findings revealed that innovative behavioral techniques reduce the stress to a greater extent as compared to conventional behavioral techniques; students suffer from stress when the teacher suddenly asks a question whose answer is not known to students; students do not suffer from home work stress and examination stress.
