Abstract
This study examines the digital reading habits and preferences of college students in Kamrup
(Metro) District, Assam, with a focus on identifying differences between genders and fields of
study. The research aims to explore variations in digital reading habits and preferences
between male and female students, identify correlations between these habits and preferences,
and assess disparities across different streams—Arts, Commerce, and Science. Based on these
objectives, hypotheses were formulated to test for significant differences and correlations
within the specified population. Using a descriptive survey method, data were collected from
200 students across five provincialized general degree colleges, chosen based on gender and
academic discipline distribution. A semi-structured questionnaire on Google Forms was used
for data collection, with gender and academic discipline as independent variables, and
digital reading habits and preferences as dependent variables. Statistical analyses, including
t-tests and ANOVA, were conducted on the collected data. The study's findings highlighted
the digital reading behaviors of college students in the area and established a close
relationship between digital reading habits and preferences. Additionally, it was found that
students have yet to fully leverage the benefits of digital reading in their educational pursuits.
