Abstract: This study aimed to take a good look at how university students are performing academically. It was a descriptive study, and it involved a survey across two universities: Mirpur University of Sciences and Technology (MUST) and the University of Kotli, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (UoKAJK). The total number of students involved was 2,920 in all, with 1,660 from MUST and 1,260 from UoKAJK. To get a manageable sample, the researchers used a technique called stratified random sampling. This meant they ended up with 600 students total—341 from MUST and 259 from UoKAJK. They developed their own questionnaire for this research. For analysing the data, they went with frequency, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The results showed that university students did demonstrate some level of academic performance. However, it seems they only partially agreed with how well they were doing academically. Based on all this, the study suggests a few things. For one, students might want to work on their daily planning and really hone in on their time management skills, learning techniques, and study strategies to improve their performance. The university teachers may encourage students to set some weekly goals, keep track of their daily tasks, and maybe spread out their study time across different subjects. That may really help them stay organized and on top of things.
