INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Student life is disorganized if there is no proper time management. The

importance of time in a student’s life is never to be neglected. Most successful

students who are toppers or rank holders plan a schedule that meets their

academic and leisurely pursuits. Students need to learn the art of discipline to

manage time successfully. Apart from studies, most students participate in

various co-curricular activities and hobbies in their daily lives. Proper time

management makes it possible to complete all activities smoothly. Students

undergo stress and anxiety around the exam season. Time management makes

us more relaxed and confident about our performance in exams. Good time

management is essential if you are to handle a heavy workload without

excessive stress. Academic stress is the psychological state of a student as a

result of ongoing social and self-imposed pressure in a school setting that

exhausts the student’s psychological reserves (Zhang et al., 2022). Time

management helps you to reduce long-term stress by giving you direction when

you have too much work to do. It puts you in control of where you are going and

helps you to increase your productivity (Shah, 2016).

Time management can affect academic stress. According to some

studies, poor time management skills can lead to increased stress levels, as

students may feel overwhelmed by the demands of their studies and other

responsibilities. By developing good time management habits, students can

better prioritize their tasks, reduce stress levels, and improve their overall

academic performance. Conversely, students who perceive control of their time

report significantly greater evaluations of their performance, greater work, and life

satisfaction. Therefore, time management is an important skill for students to

cope with academic stress and achieve their goals (BYJUS, 2023).

Furthermore, this study will help to explore the relationship between

students time management and academic stress. It would seem that there is a

greater need to understand and control changeable components of students'

attitudes given the relationship between time management and academic stress

have been established for a long time. College instructors have believe that

cognitive ability and interactions between professors and students are the main if

not the only, factors influencing student time management. However, there are

consequences for teachers, administrators, and students if the students don’t

have time management and is more likely to be stressed academically. Our main

goal in this study was to ascertain whether students academic stress is in fact

connected to their learning as indicate by time management.

When the right intervention strategies are used, failing kids can be helped to

succeed in the classroom. Typically, specific student personal characteristics are

assessed and subsequently correlated with an outcome measure in study on

student learning and behavioural outcomes. Among these, study abilities, such

as time management, are a factor affecting both stress and academic

accomplishment.

Students interviewed about stress factors first talk about managing their

time, which is split between learning, revising and assessment periods. Two-

thirds of students reported trouble arranging their work, revision, and preparation

time, regardless of whether this involves finishing projects, writing dissertations,

preparing for exams, or the exams each semester. They feel stressed as a result

of a lack of time. They have difficulty prioritizing their deadlines.
