ABSTRACT

The authors of this study have attempted to understand whether study habits affect academic achievement among secondary and senior secondary school students of Mysore.

Results indicated that the study habits facilitate higher academic achievement. Further, it was also found that secondary school students are significantly better than senior secondary students on study habits. The findings are analyzed and explained.
