Generally, Computers is a force which can significantly increase the efficiency of the any existing institution/ universities of the country. They have become an integral part of the educational teaching-learning methodology of the Institutes/ universities Faculty and students. We can also refer them under the ICT facilities for the students.

When it comes to understand the chronicle of computer labs situated in Educational Campuses, we briefly lay across the functionality of these labs is to provide knowledge to the students by giving the full access to the computers in those labs for academic explorations. Even it is relevant to note that, today these computers in labs also have variety of other uses and purposes such as research to the incubation centers established under institutes to convert student’s ideas into prospective business products. The real purpose behind writing this research paper is to analyses the students adaptation of Mode of lab usage for their academic functionality respectively at Mass communication Institutes. It is also found in this research that, the Students from various Institutes also effectively and often use their own personal computers for various kind purposes which are not within the purview of computer labs objectives. This finding held across various institutes also considering the difference of objectives each institute and students have regarding the functionality and activities held in those respective labs.
