The study is mainly based on primary data which were collected from 500 students as sample of different private universities in Dhaka. Some statistical tools like mean, standard deviation, hypothesis etc. were used for analyzing data in this study. The students of different private universities seem to enjoy discovering the Facebook for chatting, comments passing, message sending, photo and video sharing, and blogging etc. that enable the communication with relatives, friends, teachers and around the globe. They are even using facebook for gathering information and enhancing academic knowledge but as a matter of fact, majority of them still misuse Facebook like unnecessary chatting, bad comments passing, vulgar message sending etc. The study concluded that the excessive use of Facebook can be the reason of decreasing academic result.
