Finally the prevalence estimation of "problematic internet use" among Indian adolescents" from any type of university of India; where any related studies were carried, was done by meta-analysis method for proportions by Med- Calc software. Results: Out of total 33 articles included, only 9 studies on PIU in India were taken in meta-analysis; which revealed that although the overall pooled prevalence of "problematic internet use" was lower i.e. 21.6% [95%C.I.=0.2%-63%], despite heterogeneity among studies [(Q=5340, 95% C.I.=99.83 to 99.87], but it was statistically significant (p<0.0001) indicating it to be an emerging problem among Adolescents of India.
