The present study was conducted to look for the effect of digital education on the academic performance of students. With the rapid advancement of technology, digital education has changed traditional teaching methods, offering innovative approaches to enhance learning outcomes. This study focused the 375 university students. Study was a descriptive and survey was used for data collection. Quantitative analysis revealed positive correlation between digital education and academic outcomes, particularly in terms of knowledge retention, engagement, and flexibility. Regression as statistical technique was adopted and results stated that effect of digital education on students’ performance is significant. Thus, researcher acclaims the digital education as compulsory part of education for better academic performance of university students. The findings emphasize potential of digital education to transform the academic success. The recommendations include ensuring equitable access to digital resources, providing training for both students and educators in digital literacy, and balancing online and offline learning modes to mitigate drawbacks. Future research should examine long-term impacts and explore strategies for overcoming barriers to digital education in diverse contexts.
To determine the effect of digital education on the academic performance of university students.
Descriptive and survey research design using quantitative methods. Data was collected from 375 MPhil and PhD students in southern Punjab universities, Pakistan, using closed-ended Likert-type questionnaires. Correlation and regression analysis were employed for data analysis.

The study suggests that digital education has a significant positive effect on students' academic performance, enhancing knowledge retention, engagement, and flexibility. However, the effect size is moderate, implying that other factors also contribute to academic success. The findings align with previous research indicating the benefits of digital tools in education.
A weak positive correlation (r=0.272, p=0.000) was found between digital education and academic performance. Regression analysis indicated that digital education explained 16.9% of the variance in academic performance.
Digital education has a noticeable positive impact on university students' academic performance. The study emphasizes the transformative potential of digital tools and platforms in education and recommends ensuring equitable access, providing digital literacy training, and adopting a hybrid learning approach.
