Students' growing usage of social media has increased academic comparisons, leading to Academic FOMO (Academic Fear of Missing Out), which might have a negative impact on learning results. This study looks at how academic FOMO caused by social media affects students' academic performance and whether or not teacher assistance influences this connection.100 responses were collected using structured questionnaire using a 3-point Likert scale was used to measure academic FOMO, academic performance, and perceived teacher support among undergraduate students. The results show that academic FOMO has a major detrimental impact on students' academic performance. However, data also reveals that teacher assistance has a moderating effect, acting as a buffer against the detrimental effects of academic FOMO.
