1. INTRODUCTION

We are living in 21st century, and the most important demand of this era is scientific and technical development .During last twenty five years man has achieved more in this field. According to very careful estimation every five years, the volume of information is doubling. This increase in information in both astonishing and terrified but certainly these both factor cannot continue without having some make effect upon the life of every person present today. Now a days it is belief that ICT is only the backbone of information society, but also a significance instrument and catalyst to influence the reforms of education that change our learner to the productive worker of knowledge.(Irum Aneela,2008 P,1)�ICTs are diverse set of technological tools and resources, used to handle information and communication.�

�It includes any communication application or device e-g computer, internet, cellular phone, broadcasting technology (radio, TV) satellite system as well as the various service and application associated with them such as distance learning and video conferencing. (Abu Bakar, Zaitun, 2006 P, 1)�

ICT have ability to accelerate, innovate, enrich to encourage, motivate and deepened skills of students as well as strengthens teaching. It increase flexibility in deliverance of education so that student can obtain knowledge anywhere any time .It focuses on the student how they are learned and way how they are taught. The process is driven by student not by teachers. This change would prepare pupil for long life as well as enhance the effective learning.

It transfers content from content centred to competence based. The delivery mode of curricula has now shifted from teacher centred to student centred form of delivery (Noor _ul_amin, Syed P, 6). ICT has removed communication barrier, it allows for the creation of digital tools like digital libraries where professionals, learner, and teachers can take research material anytime and anywhere. It simply removes geographical barriers and improves quality of education, to give direction to teachers in their professions and help student to learn more effectively (Mzee Awuor, Fredrick, 2013 P, 2).

But unfortunately there are many hurdles found in the use of ICT in private and public sector universities, which includes lack of competence and skills, limited knowledge how to utilize, lack of internet facilities, lack of computers facilities ,lack of technical support .Under developing countries ,face a economic hardship ,devices are too much expensive and it cannot be affordable, inadequate numbers of ICT related courses, resist to change is an important factor in the implementation of ICT in private and public sectors universities.
