        abstract = {Online modes of education have significantly influenced the academic experiences of students, especially those enrolled in professional courses such as Physiotherapy. Reduced face-to-face interaction, lack of structured academic guidance, and difficulties in understanding course content can negatively affect student performance. Online academic counseling has emerged as a supportive intervention to address these challenges. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of online academic counseling as an intervention to improve academic performance among Physiotherapy students. An online interventional pre–post study design was adopted. Undergraduate Physiotherapy students participated in structured online academic counseling sessions conducted over a four-week period. Academic performance, study habits, and academic confidence were assessed using a structured questionnaire before and after the intervention. The findings indicated noticeable improvement in students’ academic performance, better organization of study routines, and increased academic confidence following the intervention. The study concludes that online academic counseling is an effective and feasible intervention for enhancing academic performance among Physiotherapy students.},
