The project report examines the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on learning within higher education, highlighting its significant role in modernizing educational systems. Through a survey of 100 students from various programs, it concludes that while ICT generally has a positive impact on learning, perceptions vary based on specific technologies like calculators and online support. The study indicates no significant differences in perceptions regarding ICT's impact between genders, educational mediums, and various academic programs.

- 6. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Project is to examine the relationship between the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and Learning in higher education. During the last two decades higher education institutions have invested heavily in information and communication technologies (ICT). ICT has had a major impact in the university context, in organization and in teaching and learning method. It is difficult and maybe even impossible to imagine future learning environments that are not supported, in one way or another, by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). There is, in other words, a widespread belief that ICTs have an important role to play in changing and modernizing educational systems and ways of learning. The impact of the ICT on learning can be approached in different ways. There is no single concept of learning through the use of ICT. Many different types can be envisaged: computer assisted learning, web-learning, computer-classes, online training, distance education, eLearning, virtual learning, digital training, projector in classroom, microphone, use of Power point slide etc. Consequently, its impact on the learning process should encompass not only traditional learning outcomes but also the use of ICT by teachers (teacher training), the organizational use of ICT by education and training institutions, and, last but not least, the impact of ICT-enabled education on, for instance, personal development, confidence and self esteem. 6

- 8. Alternate hypothesis: The mean rating of perception about ICT is significantly different among the student of different medium of education, which is 3. RESEARCH DESIGN A research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the research project. It specifies the precise details of the procedures necessary for obtaining the required information. It is important to have a good research design in order to ensure that the research project is conducted effectively and efficiently. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN In that regard, we have developed a questionnaire for students to learn more about the impact of ICT on learning.

CONCLUSION After performing the data analysis and calculating the mean and Anova test we conclude that- 1) There is positive impact of ICT on learning. 2) Both male and female perception is same, which is they think there is positive impact of ICT on learning. 3) Student of different program think that there is positive impact of calculator and on line support in learning, where as LCD and microphone does not provide any impact on learning. 4) Both Hindi and English medium student perception are same regarding the impact of ICT on learning, which is ICT is providing positive impact on learning. 20
