ABSTRACT
The present study investigates the impacts of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on higher education and also to identify impediments that resulted in slow motion penetration of ICTs at the university level in the Gujarat state. The methodology employed for this paper follows a mixed method by using the primary source of data. The structured questionnaires were administered to the students pursuing postgraduation from the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University (HNGU) (N = 8056, n = 309) in various disciplines by considering factors such as ICT infrastructure, digital communication, and student satisfaction on ICT usage and ICT usage by faculty. IBMSPSS.25 is used for data analysis as a statistical tool. The results explore the need for strong ICT infrastructure in rural colleges of HNGU and student-centric policy on ICT usage in the university.
