The rapid proliferation of internet access among university students has significantly
influenced their academic behaviors. This study examines the impact of internet usage on the
academic performance of students at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF). Utilizing
a simple random sampling technique, data were collected from 140 students through a
structured questionnaire. The analysis, conducted using SPSS, revealed that 53.6% of the
respondents were male and 46.4% were female, with the majority spending an average of 3
hours daily on internet activities. A substantial proportion of students (70.9%) acknowledged
that excessive internet use, particularly for non-academic purposes, has a detrimental effect on
their cumulative grade point average (CGPA). Meanwhile, 22.1% remained neutral, and 10%
disagreed with this assertion. These findings underscore the need for balanced internet usage
among students to enhance academic outcomes.
