Abstract
Time management plays a very important role in personal and professional life. Several studies have demonstrated that judicious use of time positively affects academic performance. This study was carried out to assess the relationship between time management and academic achievement of the students of Sylhet Agricultural University. Moreover, the study aimed to know if there was any gender difference in time management. Based on the literature review on time management, survey research has been identified as the most prominent design to study time management. The time management questionnaire developed by Britton and Tesser was used as a study tool for its reliability and validity. A total of 187 students were selected from Sylhet Agricultural University as respondents for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. The results of this study do not suggest a significant relationship between time management and academic achievement. However, females manage time better than males in short-range and long-range planning.
