Abstract
Academic success among nursing students hinges on effective study habits, which influence learning outcomes and professional competence. This study assessed study habits among first-year BSc nursing students (N = 100) at KMCT College of Nursing, Kozhikode, Kerala. Using a demographic questionnaire and standardised study habits inventory, data were collected and analysed descriptively. Findings revealed 54% good, 43% fair, 2% poor, and 1% excellent study habits; a significant gender association emerged (p < .05), with no other demographic influences.
