Abstract— Blended learning has emerged as an important instructional strategy in higher education due to rapid technological advancement and increased integration of digital tools in teaching and learning processes. The present study examines the influence of blended learning practices on student engagement among undergraduate students. A descriptive survey method was adopted for the study. The sample consisted of 400 undergraduate students selected from Arts and Science streams. Data were collected using a Blended Learning Practices Questionnaire and a Student Engagement Scale. Statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and t-test were used for analysis. The results reveal a strong positive relationship between blended learning practices and student engagement. The study also indicates that students exposed to blended learning demonstrate higher participation, motivation, and collaborative learning behavior. The findings suggest that effective integration of online and face-to-face teaching methods can significantly improve student engagement and the overall quality of higher education.
