Technology-based learning is a new learning method where students are taught using different digital/ICT tools such as mobile phones, computers, the internet, multimedia, tablets, and many others. The present study aimed to determine the impact of technology-based learning on students' academic performance. A quantitative research method was applied, followed by a survey research design to accomplish this study. The study was delimited to Balochistan province. All the public degree-awarding higher educational institutions were considered for the study. The target population for the study was the undergraduate students. The questionnaire was developed in collaboration with all authors. The reliability and validity of the framed questionnaire were checked through pilot testing. The reliability was found to be 0.87. Data were collected personally and with the help of colleagues. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the assistance of SPSS software version 22. The study's findings indicate that technology-based learning develops students' critical thinking, communication, cognitive, and reading skills, motivates students to become problem solvers, and enhances the professional development of the learners. The study concluded that technology-based learning positively impacts students' academic performance at the undergraduate level and also enables the students to cope with modern-world challenges. The study recommends that the government include technology at all levels of education, train its teachers, and provide all the technology resources.
