AbstractThis study examines the factors that influence cyber security awareness among university students in the Delhi NCR area. As more people depend on digital tools, it’s important to understand how much students know about cyber security. The research uses a quantitative method and gathers data from more than 120 students. It uses Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in SPSS to analyze the information. The main aim is to assess students’ level of awareness and to explore how various factors affect it, such as their academic background, whether they have received cyber security education, and how frequently they use digital technologies. The study also makes use of statistical methods like Chi-square tests, t-tests, and ANOVA to identify relationships between these factors. This helps compare awareness levels across different groups, such as male and female students, and evaluate how cyber security education impacts awareness. The expected results should provide valuable insights into what influences cyber security awareness. This information can help develop more effective education programs and policies to improve students’ knowledge and preparedness in a digital environment. The research also aims to support decision-makers in identifying necessary steps to enhance awareness and readiness.
