The rapid advancement of digital learning technologies has transformed higher education, necessitating an understanding of students' attitude towards e-learning. This study examines the relationship between students' attitude towards e-learning and their academic achievement, focusing on key factors such as content quality, ease of use, behavioral intention, and infrastructure support etc. Utilizing a descriptive research design, data was collected from 600 undergraduate students in Haryana, India, and analyzed using inferential statistical methods, including t-tests and Pearson correlation. The findings reveal that students with a positive attitude towards e-learning demonstrate higher academic achievement. Science students show a more favorable attitude towards e-learning compared to Arts students, particularly in usability and engagement, while gender-based differences are minimal. The study further highlights that content quality and ease of platform use significantly enhance students' attitude, whereas inadequate digital infrastructure remains a challenge for many learners. The study's implications emphasize the need for high-quality digital content, user-friendly platforms, and improved digital accessibility to foster a more effective and inclusive e-learning environment. Future research should explore longitudinal studies on e-learning adaptation and the impact of blended learning models on student motivation.
