Abstract: 
Emotional exhaustion is described as a psychological state characterized by decreased energy, feelings of emotional and physical exhaustion, and a sense of frustration and failure. This state often arises from the initial phases of stress, leading to emotional and cognitive distance from academic activities. The study aims to check the relationship between emotional exhaustion with career aspiration and academic self-efficacy among engineering college students. A sample of n=201 engineering students (174 Males and 25 Females) was taken with all the participants being between the age range of 18-25. The results obtained indicated no relationship between emotional exhaustion, academic self-efficacy, and Career Aspiration among engineering students. However, there is a significant positive relationship between career aspiration and academic self-efficacy among these students
