Abstract The increasing use of the internet among undergraduate students has significantly influenced their academic life and study behavior. The present study examines the pattern of internet use and its relationship with study habits among undergraduate students in co-educational colleges of Ullunda Block, Odisha. The study was conducted on a sample of undergraduate students selected from four colleges of the block. A structured internet use questionnaire and a standardized study habits inventory covering dimensions such as comprehension, concentration, task orientation, interaction, drilling, writing and recording and academic support were used for data collection. Students were categorized into high and low internet users based on their usage scores. Statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation and appropriate comparative analysis were applied to analyze the data. The findings indicate differences in study habit dimensions between high and low internet users, suggesting that internet usage patterns may influence certain aspects of student study behavior. The study highlights the need for balanced and purposeful internet use to promote better academic outcomes among undergraduate students.
