The increasing utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) is improving student teaching as well as learning. Online and virtual learning environments are progressively replacing more traditional ones. Incorporation of ICT into higher education creates a wealth of new options. E-learning is additionally made possible by incorporation of ICT in higher education courses. Utilization of ICT has greatly increased distance education. Thus, to efficiently incorporate ICT into classroom, higher education institutions must work together and provide funding from the government. Lack of funding, limited training opportunities, college administration, lack of sponsorship, inadequate ICT facilities at work, and unstable electrical supplies are some of these difficulties. The underutilization of ICT by academic staff can be attributed to various issues, such as inadequate comprehension of ICT, time constraints stemming from their workload, and disinterest in education and training. This essay examines the ways in which ICT and IoT are influencing classroom instruction along with student learning in Indian higher education institutions. The paper was based on relevant literature as well as secondary data.
