Conclusion:

In modern era, internet is an inevitable medium for the development of a person. A student can get any world wide information about anything sitting at home or office or in the class room. It can be advantageous if used for enhancement of knowledge. At the same time, it can be dangerous if used for things not useful for human development or malicious purpose.

It can be concluded from the study that all the students can not have access to internet and some students do not avail of this facility though it is available. All educational institutes should plan to encourage the use of internet among students, to create interest in it and make them use it for useful purpose.
