Abstract

             The quick spread of internet has drastically changed how students communicate, learn, and connect with one another. But excessive use has raised questions about internet addiction, a behavioral disorder linked to poor psychological and academic results. The present investigation looks examines the extent of internet addiction among students and investigates differences based on course level, gender, and kind of institution. Inferential and descriptive statistics were employed a sample of 250 pupils. A moderate degree of addiction was indicated by the mean internet addiction score of 33.20 (SD = 16.97). The use of parametric tests was justified by the results of normality testing using skewness and kurtosis, which verified that the data resembles a normal distribution. To investigate group differences, one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-tests were suggested. The results point to a modest prevalence of internet addiction among students, with possible variance across demographic factors. The report emphasizes the necessity of institutional measures and awareness campaigns to encourage appropriate internet use.
