This report studies how well the students of Himalaya Engineering College can access the internet. A survey of 400 students (out of 1,500), observations and interviews were used. The findings show that 78 percent of the students depend on mobile data, and only 30 percent are satisfied with the campus Wi-Fi, which is slow and covers only two of the six buildings. The hostels have no Wi-Fi. Students spend an average of Rs. 800 a month on mobile data, and 22 percent of them find it difficult to pay. The lab computers are old, and their connection is often down. The report recommends extending the Wi-Fi to all the buildings and hostels, increasing the bandwidth to 300 Mbps, upgrading the labs, providing low-cost data packages, and training students in the proper use of the internet. #### Recommendation 1. Extend the campus Wi-Fi to all six buildings, the library and the hostels within six months. 2. Increase the bandwidth from 50 Mbps to at least 300 Mbps, and take a second line as a backup. 3. Upgrade the lab computers and the network equipment. 4. Appoint a network administrator and set up a help desk for complaints. 5. Make an agreement with an internet service provider to give discounted data packages to students. 6. Introduce a fair-use policy and security measures (login, filtering, antivirus). 7. Organise training in research skills, safe use and cyber security. 8. Review the system every year with feedback from students. ## Check yourself The answer's key points as multiple-choice questions, with the correct option and why. 1.
