There are various factors that higher education institutions need to make sure of their quality graduates. Academic performance is one of such considerable factors that higher education institutions need to make a continuous assessment of that. The purpose of the current study was to find out the relationships between two variables (time spent and academic performance) of students. The current study used a quantitative research method to find out the statistical relationships between time spent and academic performance. Researchers first distributed a questionnaire to students to select one of the options given to them for their normal time spent during their studies. Then, researchers compared their exam marks with their time spent hours and calculated the correlation between these two variables. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package in Social Sciences (SPSS 24.00) using inferential statistical tests to test the hypothesis to find out if any relationship exists. The statistical findings of the current study revealed that there is a correlation between these two variables (time spent and academic performance). Researchers suggest other research studies in different Afghan universities to investigate the status of students‟ academic performance in different aspects.
