The purpose of the study is to find out reading habits of particularly chemistry post graduate students in Savitribai Phule University. A survey method was used for the present study. Questionnaires were distributed for 90 students. It was found that 96.90 % of students prefer the English language for reading. Whereas 65.60% percent of students read subject related books.

There should be a separate period for reading in the time table.
