Table value of X2 at 5% level of significance = 7.815

Conclusion :

Thus calculated X is less than the tabulated X. X calculated =3.429<X square=7.815.
So we will accept null hypothesis that is there is no difference significance
relationship between gender and time period of change the mobile phones.

Conclusion:

HO is rejected since the calculated value of X2 (26.77) more than the table value of
X2 (16.919) hence there is a significant relationship between income and spending
on mobile phones.

 Most favorite brand among the college students is Nokia
 Appearance, Price, Brand Image and advertisement are the
important factors for the students while purchasing mobile
phones.
 Mostly students see advertisement on television
 Mostly students have the hanging and service problem with the
Nokia.
Recommendations
 Nokia should provide better service and try to solve the hanging
problem
 Cellular companies should increase the awareness about the 3G service.

 Companies should offer more range of Rs. 10,000 or less than 10,000.

 LG and Samsung should try to expand its market share and also should
try to increase the awareness through the television advertisement.

Limitations of the Study
 A small sample size of 250 students is taken, so we cannot draw
inferences about the population from this sample size.
 Time period is short and resource constraints.
 The scope of the project is limited to the city of Bilaspur City. So,
we cannot say that the same response will exist throughout India.
 This study is based on the prevailing student’s satisfaction. But the

student’s satisfaction may change according to time, fashion,
technology, development, etc.
