Anxiety is one of the most significant obstacles to academic success. When stress is interpreted negatively or becomes overwhelming, it causes anxiety before and during examinations, which in turn impacts students' academic performance. The difficulty in managing severely associated anxiousness enhances the demand for NIBS. It is a unique approach that has the potential to alleviate anxiety by modifying cortical excitability whereas Relaxation breaks the vicious cycle of pain caused by muscular stress, circulatory illness, and metabolic by-products alterations. The main purpose is to evaluate whether tDCS along with Relaxation technique reduces the anxiety level in competitive exam students. Total 46 students are recruited and randomly allocating in experimental and control group. The subjects in the experimental group are going to receive 9 tDCS sessions (2mA, anode placed on the DLFPC of left side and cathode on right supraorbital cortex for 20 min) along with relaxation technique. Subjects in the control group are going to receive 9 sessions of relaxation. The CSAI-2R scale is used as an Outcome Measure. Samples completed the CSAI-2R scale before and following the intervention. The data will be analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software.

Relaxation technique
CSAI- 2R (Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R)
It is a reliable and viable scale for assessing the level of competitive anxiety. It's having 27 components, each having 4 grades ranging from 1 to 4.
