Anxiety disorders represent a significant psychiatric comorbidity that plagues many students undergoing rigorous preparations for competitive exams, including the NEET-PG examination in India. The significance of this study stems from the well-documented connection between stress associated with competitive exam preparation and the development of anxiety. Detecting and addressing anxiety in its early stages can significantly improve the quality of life for affected individuals and promote mental health awareness among students preparing for high-stakes exams which will also increase their academic performance in the exams. This research was aimed to fill that gap by conducting a cross-sectional study during June 2022 to July 2022, targeting MBBS graduates between the ages of 24 and 30, who are actively preparing for the NEET-PG examination
