The present study explores the perspective of university students towards the awareness, attitudes, practices, and perceived barriers associated with green computing. A survey-based, structured questionnaire has been used for data collection from a diverse sample of students. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Varimax rotation results have discovered four primary factors that influence green computing behaviour, namely knowledge and technical understanding, behavioural practices, environmental attitudes, and institutional context. The statistical analysis of the responses highlights a positive attitude of respondents towards green computing with moderate awareness. The results have highlighted a gap between knowledge and implementation. Further, the correlation analysis has indicated a strong relationship between personal beliefs and expectations of an institute, with a moderate correlation between awareness and behaviour. It suggests that awareness alone is not sufficient for attaining sustainability. A multi-dimensional approach must be developed to incorporate green computing in the curriculum, develop infrastructure, arrange awareness campaigns and promote experiential learning. The study further provides practical insights for developing targeted sustainability initiatives in academic institutions.
