Abstract

Internet occupies a significant place in every individual's life. For the students particularly at post graduation level, internet plays vital role in gathering more and more information related to their academics work. Internet enables the student to search any job, course available in the institution organization and help to apply any form and to take admission in any institution online.

But in reality it differs in some extent, the present study has made an effort to study the internet knowledge of P.G. student and their level of usage.
