Abstract

The dependency on websites has increased manifold. More and more websites are being developed in local languages also. However, most users feel that the websites developed in their local languages are not reliable and updated. So, the quality of the websites of Academic institutes which are in local languages have been performed. There are 49 academic institutes in India whose websites are in local languages. Using stratified sampling technique, the sample of websites that are selected for case study are 2 (66.6 %) of Punjabi and 20 (40.8 %) of Hindi. The testing has been performed on the selected websites by implementing a web quality model According to the testing, 12 (54.5 %) websites’ score is less than 50 %, 7 (31.8 %) websites’ score is between 50 and 60 % while only 3 (13.6 %) websites’ score is more than 60 %.
