In the present research correlational research design was used, a sample size comprised of 140 (Male=69, Female=71) undergraduate students was achieved with age range of 18-21 years old. Purposive sampling technique was used. Assessments including Fear of failure, Perceived stress scale (Sheldon Cohen, 1988) and Academic achievement scale (Rapport, 1991) was used. Analyze data are Descriptive statistics, Pearson product, regression analysis and Independent sample t-test was used to measure the connection and significance difference of the study variable. Cronbach value for academic achievement was.72 which indicated good internal consistency. Result of the analysis revealed non-significant mean differences, the finding revealed that academic achievement has highly significant negative relationship with perceived stress. The finding revealed that fear of failure and perceived stress negatively predicted academic achievement with R' value of .41% variance with F (2, 135) =1.542, P<.001. We advise that, in order to benefit exposed undergraduates overwhelmed these doubts, employing an idea of involvement might be Creative.
