The trend of traditional studies regarding students’ lives focus on

academics and between student and faculty relationships (Gradovetter

M. 1973). Moreover, discussion and estimates concerning the effects of
information technology on campus have mostly link with academic
learning’s and academic performance. But due to popularity of
Facebook in university campuses the link with academic learning’s by
the information technology may be affected. Some recent research
works are demonstrating the impact of Facebook on students’
academic performances. It is necessary to define the academic
performance before we go any further. According to Aliya’s, Hope and
Justin (2012) that ‘academic performance is a function of attention
span, time management skills, student characteristics academic
competence id defined as a student’s ability to manage the required
course load and course materials for his/her chosen field of study’
(p.2118). Facebook is holding the largest percentage of member in
online social network today and most of them are students around the
globe. Use of the Facebook might have good or bad impacts on their
academic performance and academic lives. The excessive use of
Facebook among the students is generating main question that is
Facebook use effecting on students’ academic performance and playing
positive or negative role in their social and academic lives? This study
will explore the impact of Facebook on students’ academic
performance with the glance of social capital. What is the contribution
of Facebook to generating or vanishing students’ social capital during
their academic and social lives? If you use internet you are increasingly
likely to use Facebook, it is the platform of the people to get more out
of it and new form of communication (Kirkpatrick 2010, 16).
