In India, the integration of digital tools, including Learning Management Systems (LMS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and hybrid classrooms, has accelerated, particularly under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This study evaluates the impact of digital transformation on student learning outcomes in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across Tamil Nadu, India. A mixed-method approach was adopted, involving a survey of 300 students and interviews with 30 faculty members from selected government and private colleges. The findings reveal that digital transformation significantly enhances accessibility, engagement, and academic performance. However, challenges such as digital fatigue, limited infrastructure in rural institutions, and insufficient faculty training in digital technologies persist. The study concludes that while digital transformation has a measurable positive impact on student learning outcomes, its long-term success in Tamil Nadu depends on inclusive digital strategies, continuous faculty development, and strong institutional support.}, }
