Abstract: This work aims to assess the teachers' preparedness on technological use and availability of resources. To a questionnaire was administered to the teachers engaged in higher education and their demographic details that include age, teaching label, locality of residence, etc. were collected. Collected variables were categorised into 'control variables' and 'outcome' and the relationship between them had been established. Outcomes generated by the correlation method were validated with the help of machine learning algorithms. The result indicated the degree of relationship between 'control variables' and the 'outcome'. Teachers relatively young and fall in the age group of 25-35 years have emerged as major users of ICT-based pedagogy. Upon observing the subjects, few subjects have demonstrated the higher usage of ICT tools relative to others. The proposed method will be immensely helpful for the administrators and policymakers to determine the gap and formulate the policies to further strengthen ICT-based learning.
