1. Introduction Our lives have considerably transformed with the use of technology, the way we interact, communicate, learn and work. Most of the business is carried out through internet now and one seems to be handicapped today without technology. The internet is evolving so quickly, from a traditional medium of merely providing information to users, to an indispensable requirement for the users who want to perform computing, store data and even run software applications at any given moment of time from any part of the world (Ramachandran N, 2014). Traditional accessing of government services is also being made available through electronic media under the banner ‘e-governance’ (e-gov) giving up the need to go through many procedures and formalities at government setup. Egovernance involves new ways of governance, leadership, debating, delivery, investment, transparency, etc. (Qadri, 2014). With e-governance, citizens have round the clock access to government information and interaction with government setup has become easy. Similarly, education system is benefited by use of technology, the way information is disseminated and knowledge is shared between students, researchers and faculty. Facultystudent interaction is not limited to class room only. Transparency, efficiency and accountability in academic processes particularly for admission and examination system is what students demand in modern times. To achieve these characteristics, e-governance in university system needs to be applied. e-Governance can make universities more efficient and more effective, and bring other benefits too to attain quality in academics. The three main contributions of e-governance: improving governance processes (eadministration); connecting to students (e-students and e-services); and building external interactions (e-society). However, most e-governance initiatives fail. Institutions therefore face two challenges. First, the strategic challenge of e-readiness. Second, the tactical challenge of closing design—reality gaps: adopting best practice in e-governance projects. In order to avoid failure and to achieve success in ensuring smooth and efficient performance of the e-governance system many challenges creep-in like e.g. storing, computing huge databases pertaining to student admission, courses and grades require strong compute power with scalability and putting security feature/s in place. Moreover, keeping the services up round the clock, throughout the year with high reliability and efficiency is a challenging task and is now achieved with the advent of technologies such as “Cloud Computing”.
