The objective of the present study is to analyze the relationship between time management and academic success among students. In this research, data was collected through a questionnaire-based survey utilizing a quantitative research methodology. The study assessed various dimensions of time management—such as time planning, prioritization, effective time utilization, and procrastination—and correlated them with the students' academic performance. Statistical analysis involved the application of descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression techniques. The results clearly indicated the existence of a positive and significant relationship between time management and academic success. Students who demonstrated superior time management skills also exhibited a relatively higher level of academic performance. Furthermore, time management was identified as a significant predictor of academic success. The study also suggests that effective time management not only enhances academic achievement but also reinforces self-discipline, goal-oriented behavior, and stress management among students. Therefore, it is essential for educational institutions to organize training programs and workshops aimed at developing time management skills among students. This study offers valuable guidance for education policymakers, educators, and students.
