The study aimed at exploring the correlation of happiness level of postgraduate university students and their academic performance. Data was gathered from students in the second semester of their courses, using the fish bowl method for random sample selection. After collecting the data, SPSSv26 was utilized for descriptive analysis and regression analysis. The research findings indicated no significant difference in happiness levels based on gender of postgraduate students. Furthermore, an insignificant positive correlation was observed between happiness and academic achievement. The regression analysis confirmed that happiness does not serve as a significant predictor for the academic success of postgraduate students at Jammu University.
