Cognitive flexibility is the ability to quickly transition between different thought processes in order to produce the right behavioral reactions. Academic performance is a "net result" of their cognitive and non-cognitive traits as well as the sociocultural environment in which they are raised. Cognitive flexibility is a crucial and most researched predictor for academic performance. To find the correlation between cognitive flexibility and academic performance among healthy physiotherapy students. A correlation study was conducted among 67 healthy paramedical students in which the age group for samples were18-25 years. Samples were collected by screening the inclusion and exclusion criteria. As an outcome, cognitive flexibility inventory scale for cognitive flexibility and academic performance scale for academic performance were assessed. Spearman’s correlational analysis was used for the collected data. Result of this study showed that there was a moderate positive correlation between cognitive flexibility and academic performance in both genders (r= 0.416, p=0.001), in males’ moderate positive correlation between cognitive flexibility and academic performance (r=0.452, p=0.001) and in females’ weak positive correlation between cognitive flexibility and academic performance (r=-0.301, p=0.001) In Conclusion Academic performance increases with increased cognitive flexibility.
