Abstract

Purpose of this research is to examine the factors of Information and Communication technology (Computer skills, Desktop Presentation Program, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, Assessment Agent System, E-learning, learning from Television, and M-learning) that are associating and impacting the academic achievements of the students.Structured questionnaire was distributed among 357 students to collect the data. For this Correlation and Regression Analysis were applied. The results show that five variables (computer, assessment agent system, e-learning, television, and m-learning) of ICT have a strong association whereas there is no association with desktop presentation program and heating ventilating & air conditioning. Secondly computer, m-learning, and television have direct impact but assessment agent system, e-learning, desktop presentation program, and heating ventilating & air conditioning have no impact.
