Anxiety is an emotion, which is characterised by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and it includes subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over anticipated events. Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness and worry, usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as menacing. Aim of the present study is to find out the effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy in the management of anxiety among college students. Anxiety impairs academic performance of college students. Once it is identified at an early stage, college students can be helped to overcome anxiety. The objective of the present study is to help the college students in the management of anxiety and find out gender difference, if any, among boys and girls in the management of anxiety through intervention. Spielberger has developed State - Trait Anxiety Index to assess the level of State anxiety and Trait anxiety among individuals. 120 college students with anxiety, studying at Tumakuru, Karnataka, are selected randomly as a subject for this study. They are allotted to control and experimental group, 60 college students in each group, 30 boys and 30 girls. Experimental group is exposed to cognitive behaviour therapy for one month. Results clearly indicate that there is an extremely significant difference (p>.0001) existing in the performance. Experimental group college students are lower (p< .0001) than the control group on anxiety through intervention. Girls are faster (p>.0001) than the boys in the management of anxiety through cognitive behaviour therapy. College students are successful in the academic, family and occupational life through intervention. Cognitive behaviour therapy reduces attrition rate in the educational institutions.
