ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected our overall health and its long term effects are yet to be determined. Academic motivation is just another aspect that has faced a backlash due to the pandemic. The emergence of studies related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic motivation shows that it is an integral part of a student’s life. Deficits in it reflects deficits in the holistic health of a student since academics are a major foundation of how we draw out our lives. This paper focuses on studying the long-term effects of the lack of face-to-face classes on the academic motivation of college-going students aged 18-30 years. A significant difference in academic motivation from before and after the pandemic was found. Further, the paper also discusses the possible factors during or after the pandemic contributing to the reduction in academic motivation so that educational institutions can focus on providing necessary positive support to a student.
