The use of social media has been rapidly growing over the past several years. Not only do working people utilise social media, but student use of it has increased significantly, or perhaps better said, in the education sector. The use of social media has improved society in many ways. Users can produce, modify, and share new types of textual, visual, and audio information as well as communicate and connect with one another through the many social media sites and easily accessible applications that are made possible by the Internet. It has a significant impact on our lives since it is very helpful in many spheres of life, including the political, economic, and educational ones. With the passage of time, social media has begun to have a detrimental effect on society, as millions of people get unhealthyly addicted to staying up to date on the newest events through apps like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Even though they no longer meet in person, they maintain longer-lasting friendships through their online communication. It is important to understand the positive and negative effects that social media has on our educational system and the next generation. The present study is aimed at the students of Shree D. V. Rawal Arts and Commerce College who are using internet, using different social networking apps.  This study has been done through Google Forms.  A Google Form was prepared on the effects of social networking. Then the Google Form was sent to the students through WhatsApp.
