Abstract
Load shedding is giving a tough time to University campus students. This study inquires about the problems faced by the University campus students due to electricity load shedding. For this study, convenient sampling technique for data collection was used and about 320 regular University campus students have participated. The results fully support that load shedding negatively affects majority of the University campus students. At night time students suffer more as compared to day time. Students are unable to plan a proper time table owing to load shedding. Multimedia lectures are not properly delivered. Late submission of assignments affects final grades as well.
Keywords: University Campus Students, load shedding, Education, Lectures Introduction
Students are the key resources for success of any country. These would be the pillars the country would be standing on. Students are the pillar of a nation. They would be the researchers, teachers, scientists, politicians of tomorrow. They are the future and for the better future, one needs to give them better present life, environment. Students, as dependent variables, have a lot of independent variables for example, electricity load shedding. Theoretical literature confirms that energy especially electricity load shedding decelerate the efficiency of the students. Ahmad and Ali (2009) found that performance and results of learners are affected by energy (in particular power) shortage. Sahibzada (2009)
