Synopsis :

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. The common notion envisages the message that the PG students are aware of the modern technologies (ICT) for academic purpose. 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. The present study was undertaken in Ravenshaw University with a view to know the extent to which the post graduate students were having knowledge, skills in use of internet and whether there was any factor such as socio economic status of their family, stream, responsible for development of internet knowledge among these students.  The findings revealed that the gender, stream of study and socio economic statuses of the family were not the responsible factors for development of internet knowledge.
