Introduction – Difficulty in time management during a project often arises from inadequate planning, unexpected delays and the challenge of balancing multiple tasks. This can lead to missed deadlines and increased stress, impacting project quality.

Objective – To understand the underlying issues of difficulty in time management during a project.

Literature Review –

• Nzewi & et al. (2016), Survey research design was employed and data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Z- test statistics was used to test the formulated hypothesis at 5% level of significance. The findings revealed that apart from time management, family workload and other psychological factors also affect the project quality.
• Priyadarshini & et al. (2022), survey states that students find it difficult to manage time during a project because they are stressed and overwhelmed. They also have bad study habits and often procrastinate their work.

 

Data Collection – To understand the above stated problem of difficulty in time management during  a project , we have framed the following five questions on Likert Scale.

1. I was able to balance my time effectively between multiple tasks.
2. I often felt overwhelmed by the deadlines I had to meet.
3. I had enough time to plan and execute my work without rushing.
4. I frequently prioritized less important tasks over urgent ones.
5. I managed to meet all my project deadlines without last minute stress.

We conducted a primary survey using Google forms and surveyed 124 students.

For each of the questions Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error and Z score were calculated using MS-Excel.

Data Analysis

   

	Q.1	Q.2	Q.3	Q.4	Q.5
MEAN	2.919	3.049	3.228	3.228	3.114
Standard deviation	1.513	1.286	1.220	1.342	1.467
Standard error	0.136	0.116	0.110	0.121	0.132
POP MEAN	3	3	3	3	3
Z-SCORE	-0.596	0.421	2.069	1.882	0.861

               Conclusion

1.Students are neutral about balancing their time effectively between multiple task

2. Students are neutral about feeling overwhelmed by the deadline they had to meet
3. Students are positive about the time they have when it comes to planning and executing their work without rushing
4. Students are neutral over prioritising less important tasks over urgent ones
5. Students are neutral about managing to meet all their projects dealing without last minute stress
