    (UMT Lahore, 2022-08-05) Awaiz Asif
    2020 spring was a major challenge for education with the outbreak of the pandemic. After staying halted for quite some time, education turned its way towards the online mode of education. The initial stages of the mode shift were a major challenge; however, with time, it was seen that both teachers and students adapted to the new mode. One of the major components of the online mode was making use of E-assessment to test the students' learning and evaluate their performance. In today’s world of the rapid growth of technology, students must be well equipped with the knowledge and skill that is required of them. Being acquainted with adequate digital skills and competence is a primary requirement of students who step into their careers today. Although the use of technology is being incorporated into education, it still is very limited, either to some particular programs like information technology and engineering or a certain level of the course requirement. Students belonging to departments such as social sciences, arts, and humanities lack this aspect. Assessment is a very integral part of the teaching and learning process, with the online mode of education implying the use of E-assessment. This quantitative study focuses on determining the impact of using E-assessment on the digital competence of students and their academic performance. A survey instrument is designed, accumulated from the literature, to collect data from university students at the graduate and undergraduate levels from five universities in Lahore. Collected data is analyzed using descriptive analysis, statistical analysis, t-test, correlation, and ANOVA as required. The results helped depict the relationship between the use of E-assessment and the digital competence of students and the effects of E-assessment on the academic performance of students. The study will help understand how incorporating E-assessment affects the digital competence of students and their academic performance.
