Abstract
ICT infrastructure and its effective application in the college have been a topic of conflict. Many studies clearly state that the usage of ICT in college has never been regulated by the students. If students are not trained properly in ICT in college, a large segment of society will always be unemployed, implying that sufficient attention and direction should be provided to the college by the college administration. Students can be educated via online and offline courses if ICT is properly managed. This research examined at the state of ICT at the college. The survey included administrative and teaching employees from seven institutions. We only selected institutions that previously have a thorough comprehension of the survey and understood how to use ICT effectively. However, several findings did not meet our expectations. Some colleges did not grasp the survey well enough. They were utterly unaware of how to use ICT in the present and future while keeping the interests of students and institutions in mind. Some college surveys had some variances, although they were minimal in comparison to the overall survey. Our data suggest that majority of the colleges do not understand about the correct usage of ICT. They are unaware that with ICT, learners can be made employable, and financially disadvantaged students can receive education at a low cost. They were uncertain about how to use ICT and how to advance ICT at the institution so that online and offline courses could begin. Our findings also imply that by interacting with other institutions throughout the world, ICT incompetence can be overcome. Government and college administration should work together to alleviate the ICT scarcity to some extent.
