Abstract [English]

Advancements in information communication technology have significantly impacted communication and the dissemination of information on the web. The web serves as a common platform for acquiring and sharing information without discrimination. Social networking sites empower users to efficiently and expediently exchange their ideas and thoughts on social, cultural, and academic interests. This paper explores the use of social networking websites among PG students and describes their awareness, popularity, and frequency of visit. Additionally, it highlights the purposes for utilizing social networking websites. The study also investigates the opinions of users regarding barriers, advantages, and disadvantages of social networking sites.
