Advanced technology has greatly contributed to the acceleration of human being in the recent past. Just ten years ago very few peoples could have anticipated and even imagined the wide explosion of ICT i.e. Information and Communication Technology and its profound effects in the development of higher education. This could be possible only due to the advancement in Communication and Information Technology. ICT is defined as ''Scientific technological and engineering discipline and management techniques used in information handling and processing their application, computers and their interactions with men and machines and associated social, economical and cultural matters (UNESCO 1968). It entails the use of hardware and software for efficient management of information, i.e. storage retrieval, processing, communication, diffusion and sharing information for social, economic and cultural upliftment .''
