Utilization of social media is an integral part of college students. Without social media college, students cannot think about their future and growth. This attempt was made to find out the effect of social media on the psychological and physical health status of Indian college students. Data was collected using google forms and the result revealed that there is a negative impact of social media on health status i.e mental and physical. It was also found that social media create a distraction from academics. The roots of these problems are deeply associated with the exponential growth of the internet and social media.
