This study aims to measure the impact of computer aided learning to increase the performance of the students and to evaluate the teaching and learning process by using computer aided learning. Improvement in technological innovation takes place for enablement of teaching and learning process. Rather than the tradition teaching through chalk and board, visual aids makes more compatibility for learning. Hence this present study has made an earnest attempt to measure the impact of computer aided learning for improving the performance of the students. This study is the nature of descriptive research design. This study measures the description of variables related to learning and performance of students. Both primary and secondary data were used in this study. Primary data collected through well-structured questionnaire and secondary data were collected through websites, journals and magazines. 400 samples were collected for this study. Sample size determined based on the sample standard deviation of the population through trail survey. Convenient sampling technique were adopted due to the resource constrains. Major findings of this study focussing on, majority of the respondents (80%) feels that computer aided learning increase the performance of science students. Majority of the respondents (63%) of the respondents computer aided learning provides practical exposure related to the subject matter in science related subjects. Chi-square test reveals that age has significant relationship on computer aided learning, education has significant impact on science subjects and commerce subjects, gender has significant impact on usability of computer aided learning, residential area has significant relationship between usability of computer aided learning. Major recommendations of this study focussing on, marketer requires to simplify the terms used in science subjects. Present study is useful to measure the feasibility of computer aided learning in future also.
