This study fully analysing the level of carbon footprint awareness and sustainable behaviour among undergraduate student and postgraduate students. It mainly examines key dimensions that are environmental knowledge, identification of carbon intensive activity, attitudes towards sustainability, personal responsibility, institutional support, and willingness to adopt environment responsible action for the study. Primary data were collected from UG and PG 155 respondent using a structured questionnaire using simple random sampling and the data has been analysed using the statistical tools such as the Regression and the Annova , these indicates strong awareness and favourable attitudes toward sustainable behaviour from this result High levels of awareness observed in particular area such as energy conservation, waste management, environmental consciousness, reflecting the positive impact of academic exposure and campus-based sustainability initiatives. However, lower scores it's related to carbon footprint measurement and consistent sustainable practices it will highlight gaps between awareness and practical implementation. The study shows that environmental education is really important. We need to teach students about the environment in a way. Universities should also try to be sustainable. We should encourage students to behave in ways that help the environment. This is a thing because it will help students develop good habits that the students will keep for a long time. The environment is very important. The students can really help the environment by doing things that help the environment. This way they can help create people who really care about the environment. Which can make an impact on the sustainability in their working organisations which would lead to the development of the country and on how society thinks about the environment.
