Academic burnout among Vocational High School students is a phenomenon that negatively affects learning motivation, academic achievement, and mental health. This study aimed to describe the level of academic burnout among SMK students in the Tamansari District, Tasikmalaya City. A descriptive quantitative method was employed with a sample of 415 students selected using accidental sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire, and the data were analysed using means, standard deviations, percentages, and the Mann–Whitney test. The results showed that 67% of students experienced moderate levels of academic burnout, characterised by emotional exhaustion, boredom, and decreased learning motivation. The Mann–Whitney test indicated no significant difference based on gender (p = 0.259). These findings indicate the need for responsive guidance and counselling services. The study concludes that most SMK students in Tamansari District experience moderate academic burnout, with no significant gender differences, highlighting the importance of responsive counselling interventions. This study provides a foundation for school counsellors to design individual counselling services based on self-management techniques to reduce academic burnout among students.
