The ease of sending and receiving information with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has been increasing rapidly. Undergraduate students of Mass Communication are also keen to use all the gadgets and technology available today for not just personally, but also for their studies. The current study tries to map the usage of internet, types of content watched and usage of educational programmes in studies, perception for educational programmes and the opinion of students on live interactive educational programmes. For this purpose, a survey of 100 undergraduate students from two Mass Communication institutes of Delhi was conducted. The survey revealed that Internet is mostly accessed for information access. YouTube is most popular for watching videos. The students mostly watched informational videos. The study also showed that most of the students find these programmes helpful and supplementing their classroom studies and interactive educational programmes using ICTs are known to more than two-third students. And, in future, more than half of the students want to participate in live programmes. Most of the undergraduate students have positive opinion about ICT-based educational programmes.
