IN THE GRIP OF TIME: KARACHI STUDENTS' LIFE UNDER STRICT SCHEDULES": AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Aims To investigate how students in Karachi, Pakistan, react to a rigorous daily schedule and to determine the elements that affect their compliance with it. Method Both quantitative and qualitative data gathering and analysis techniques were combined in a mixed-methods approach. In-depth interviews were performed with students who were adhering to a rigorous daily routine, and 500 students were given survey questionnaires. Result According to the findings, 70% of the students said they followed a rigorous daily routine, and 60% said they were able to do so because they believed it would help them manage their time better and be more productive. Nevertheless, 30% of the students stated that they couldn't follow the timetable for a variety of reasons, such as a lack of drive, insufficient sleep, and an overwhelming amount of homework.
