The paper aims at identifying the benefits and impediments of use of New Educational Technologies (NET) in higher educational institutions in National Capital Region. The study is based on data from six universities, namely: Ansal University, Gurgaon; Gautam Buddha University, Greater NOIDA; ITM (Northcap) University, Gurgaon; JamiaMilliaIslamia University; Jawaharlal Nehru University; and University of Delhi. The study finds the evidence that the provision of NET in self-finance universities is better than public sector universities. The faculty of all the institutions assigned highest importance to self-motivation as the key factor in adoption of NET by them. They considered ‘learning by using’ the best way to remain updated with the latest developments in ICT led teaching methodologies.Nonavailability of skill upgradation facilities in the institution was cited as the major obstacle in the adoption of NET. The views of students were also collected and analysed. The study finds almost no association between the degree of NET used by students and the job career they want to pursue.Results of the Cluster Analysis suggest that substantially high percentage of students find that NET are useful or very useful for understanding concepts more clearly and managing class activities in a better way.The majority of students also opined that ‘E-class rooms are not very effective’and ‘E-class technology is not very reliable’ as the major impediments in the NET use.
