Abstract	The present research investigates the effect of impulsivity on the academic achievement of higher secondary school students. Impulsivity, as a behavioral trait, can significantly influence students’ learning outcomes, focus, and academic performance. This study aimed to explore whether varying levels of impulsivity affect academic achievement among students of different educational institutions. A sample of 200 students was selected using the stratified proportional random sampling technique, including 100 students from government and 100 from private schools in the Durg district. The sample comprised students from both English and Hindi medium backgrounds. The Impulsivity Scale developed by Rai and Sharma (2019) was used to assess the students' impulsivity levels. Academic achievement was measured based on the proportion of marks obtained in the 11th-grade examination results. A t-test was conducted to determine the statistical significance of the relationship between impulsivity and academic achievement. The results revealed a significant difference in academic performance among students with varying levels of impulsivity, indicating that lower impulsivity is generally associated with higher academic achievement.
