Descriptive survey method is applied for this study and 120 students are selected as sample from Degree colleges of Kamrup district in Assam by applying stratified random sampling technique. It is found from the study that most of the higher secondary class students' anxiety level is average and girls have a slightly higher degree of anxiety in learning English in comparison to boys. Again there exist no differences between higher secondary boys and girls and arts and science students in learning English language.
