This study investigates the adolescent habits of senior secondary school students in Gangtok, East Sikkim, focusing on their study habits, extracurricular engagement, technology use, and experimentation behavior. Utilizing a descriptive survey research design, the research involved a sample of 120 students selected through simple random sampling from three schools. The Adolescent’s Habit Scale, developed by Lakshmi and Narain (2014), was employed to assess the various dimensions of adolescent habits. The findings reveal that students exhibit a high level of study habits, while their engagement in extracurricular activities and technology use is average. Additionally, experimentation behavior among students is also at an average level. Importantly, the study found no significant differences in adolescent habits based on gender, school management (government vs. private), or locale (rural vs. urban).
