Abstract

The growth of internet has created a new scientific communication system with new facilities that are competing with the traditional sources of information. Internet is one of the greatest recent advancement in the world of information and has become a useful instrument that has fostered the process of making the world a global village. This is a universal fact that the use of internet has a great impact on the students’ academic achievement and even on social life. The proposed research survey was conducted on University students to determine the effects of use of internet on the academic performance. The proposed research survey not only identifies various challenges in this regard but also proposes various recommendations and suggestions for it stake holders.
