Social , Academic Performance among Internet Use and Its Impacts on University Students : A Case Study in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University

Internet has become the important part of everyone’s life. Large numbers of students spend a lion share of daily time by using internet. So it was imperative to mention the effects of using internet on the society. The main aim of this study was to analyze whether the use of internet can influence student’s academic results or not. To get the desired answer, a simple random sample constituted with 150 students in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University, Gopalganj-8100, was drawn and surveyed questionnaire. This study significantly found that student’s average results were inversely influenced by their hours of regular involvement of internet. Based on the findings, this study concludes that students’ involvement in internet in terms of hours should be closely monitored to overcome this inverse effect.

Introduction
The internet is a global network connecting millions of peoples.More than 190 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions.According to internet live stats, as of August 07, 2015 there was an estimated 3,179,035,200 internet users worldwide.The number of internet users represent nearly 40 percent of the world's population.China is the largest internet users, followed by United States and India.According to internet live stats, as of July 01, 2016 there was an estimated 21,439,070 internet users in Bangladesh (www.internetlivestats.com).Generally human beings connect with each other via internet and do their necessary works like gossiping, shopping and many other social and academic tasks.Now, academic and social life is dependent partially and/or fully on the internet.It is mediating and transforming a variety of activities in the society of human being in the areas of politics, religion and language.
Previous researchers have significantly analyzed and documented different aspects internet use in Bangladesh.Kabir, et al. analyzed Exploitation of social networking sites and its impacts on students' academic results [1]: A quest for correlation or misspecification in Bangladesh; Lane has conducted a case study for the GSM association; Roknuzzaman has conducted a survey on internet access in large public university [2]; Islam and Hossain has studied access and use of internet among under graduate students in the faculty of arts, university of Dhaka, Bangladesh [3]; Azam has studied the internet adoption and its usage [4]; Mostofa has studied the access and use of internet among business students of a private university of Bangladesh.But none of them have investigated the impacts of the use of internet among university students academic result in Bangladesh.
This study primarily attempts to identify whether the use of internet by university students has any tendency to influence their academic results or not.Also identify purpose of using internet; average hour spending on internet [5,6].Higher education is a key component of a country and remaining globally competitive and declining academic performance can have long-term consequences for both society and the individual in terms of overall quality of life.Objectives 1.To find out purpose of using internet among university students.
2. To find out average hour spending on internet per day.
3. The main objective was to identify whether the use internet by university students has any tendency to influence their academic results or not.

Data collection
In this study, primary type of data was used the data were obtained from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University campus.

Sampling technique and sample size
The sample of the present study was drawn from students (those who have completed at least two semesters with their results published).The sample consisted 150 students in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University, Gopalganj-8100.Out of 150 students 100 male and 50 female.For selection of sample simple random sampling technique had been adopted.

Internet use
One hundred fifty students participate in this study.
From the cross table we see that all cell frequency is not greater than 5 so we consider Likelihood Ratio test.From Likelihood Ratio test, at 5% level of significant with 9 degrees of freedom, the calculated value is 21.924 which significant level is 0.009 which is less than 0.05.Hence we reject null hypothesis (H 0 ).That is there is significant association between average hour spending on internet per day and C.G.P.A (Table 2).In Figure 1 we see that out of 150 students, 146 (97.3%) students use internet.Only 4 (2.7%) students never use the internet.This proportion (2.7%) may look minimal and suggests over-whelming accessibility of the respondents to internet facilities.

Frequency of using internet
Figure 2 shows that the frequency of using internet by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and technology university students.It has been observed that 105 students are used daily, 12 are used twice a week, 17 are used weekly, 3 are used monthly and 9 are used rarely [7,8].
Internet is one of the most important and powerful means for information retrieval and dissemination.It helps students/researchers in collecting the right information at a right time easily and also updates their knowledge.So they use internet daily.

Purpose of using internet
Internet use has both advantages and disadvantages.It depends upon the purpose of use.If it is purposely used, it helps to increase knowledge and keeps oneself abreast of the latest developments.From Figure 3 we see that most of the respondents (50 out of 150) using internet for study, Recreation or relaxation and using social networking site (Figure 3, Tables 1 and 2).
Average hour spending on internet per day is defined on following category: Defined categories with average hour spending on internet per day is given below: Low use: Less than 2 hour, Low medium use: 2-3 hour,

Hypothesis H 0 :
There is no relationship between average hour spending on internet per day and C.G.P.A. H 1 : There is relationship between average hour spending on internet per day and C.G.P.A.
