Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is about new ways in which people can communicate, inquire, make decisions and solve problems (Sarkar, 2012). Integration of ICTs would not only help in promoting personal growth but also in developing "knowledge societies." The present study was conducted on 200 university teachers of different faculties to compare their attitude towards ICT use. No difference was found with regard to attitude towards ICT use of university teachers of different faculties, viz. Arts/Education and Science/Engineering and Technology. Majority of university (around 98%) agreed about the importance and use of ICT in teaching & Instruction, whereas more than half of the sample of teachers were found agreeing about the use of ICT in Social & Health sector.
