Most of the business is carried out through internet now and one seems to be handicapped today without technology. Similarly, education system also is benefited by use of technology, the way information is disseminated and knowledge is shared between students, researchers and faculty. Faculty-student interaction is not limited to class room only. Students demand transparency and efficiency in their academic processes particularly their admission and examination related. Universities transforms its traditional manual processes through e-based systems. All these are processed using compute power and universities need to have a reliable information system in place which not only is available round the clock but also has high reliability and accessibility. Such a system which is robust, scalable to meet the growing data and traffic especially during peak loads. 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”. Cloud computing is a new way of accepting and providing services over internet. To achieve an optimal or sub optimal allocation for immediate cloud services, the cloud environment with security is the best option. The use of cloud has to be done in a remarkable potential to provide cost effective, secure, high reliable, easy to manage, elastic and powerful resources on fly, over the internet.

INTRODUCTION In academia, cloud computing is a powerful tool that offers great scalability and flexibility, making it possible for students, staff, faculties, administrators, and other campus users access file storage, databases, and other university applications anywhere anytime (Jain and Pandey,2013). The cloud computing technology has been termed as the “silver bullet” in the field of educational technology (Mell & Grance,2010). Cloud based e-governance represents an emerging paradigm for distributed computing of e-governance applications that utilizes services as fundamental elements in building agile networks of collaborating applications distributed within and across government boundaries (Smitha et al., 2012). e-Governance with cloud computing offers integration management with automated problem resolution, manages security end- to-end, and helps budget based on actual usage of data. At a global level, cloud architectures can benefit government to reduce duplicate efforts and increase utilization of resources. This helps the government going green, reducing pollution and effective waste management.

CLOUD COMPUTING Cloud Computing is considered to be the fifth generation of computing next that helps the users to share the resources through communication mediums after mainframe computing, personal computing, client-server computing and the web.
