The features and possibilities of online social media have been attracting users after the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research has found that college students utilize social media more regularly than other groups during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study focuses on the positive role of social media on academics after the onset of COVID-19. The study was conducted with a sample size of 200 postgraduate students which include 100 males and 100 females from urban Bangalore. A self-constructed questionnaire with 20 items scale was administered to the sample population and scores were interpreted and results were compared. The collected data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel and Jamovi. Results show that students use social media positively in academic learning. Findings show that female participants are having more social media usage than male participants for academics and second-year students are using social media more frequently than first-year students for academic purposes.
