Abstract: The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly reshaped the educational landscape, and it has become imperative to critically analyze its impact on learning and academic achievement among students. This study, “Relationship between Usage of Artificial Intelligence Learning Tools and Academic Achievement among Undergraduate Students,” was conducted at Salesian College (Autonomous) Sonada and Siliguri. The study aimed at analyzing the relationship between the degree to which undergraduate students utilize AI-powered learning tools and their academic achievement, and the possible gender differences in usage and performance. Using a descriptive survey research approach and a sample of 130 undergraduate students, data were collected through a standardized self-report questionnaire and analyzed using statistical methods such as frequency analysis, t-tests, and correlation analysis. The findings showed that while there was no statistically significant relationship between the usage of AI learning tools and academic achievement, there was a significant difference in academic achievement with respect to gender, where female students reported higher achievement. The study also found that female students had a slightly higher mean score in their usage of AI tools compared to their male counterparts. These results suggest a need for educational institutions to focus not just on the adoption of AI learning tools, but on their strategic and ethical use to ensure that they actually make a difference to learning outcomes and promote a balanced, inclusive learning environment for all students. The study concludes with educational implications, highlighting the importance of gender-inclusive digital literacy programs and the critical evaluation of AI tools’ pedagogical value.
