The data was collected through a questionnaire from 1050 male and female students of three universities located in Punjab province. The results show that the reading habits of male and female students were somewhat different depending upon their objective, liking, timing of study and other factors. Female students exhibited comparatively more positive attitude towards reading as compared to their male counterparts. It is recommended that teachers at universities must play an active role in motivating, guiding and supervising students for developing positive reading habits especially among male students. Libraries of higher education institutions should be well equipped with a variety of printed and electronic reading materials, and must provide students with conducive reading environment.
