education.

Future Researchers. The study may provide reference material

and significant information regarding possible topics related to the

present study to the future researchers for conducting further studies

which may validate the result of the present study and at the same

time contribute to the building of knowledge as students’ time

management and self-efficacy towards academic performance are

concerned.

This study would also offer a comprehensive evaluation of the

time management efficiency of students taking up biology classes and

its rating in relation to achievement in the said field of study.
