However, staff don't have a high level of interest in the ICT program, though the learners are ICT savvy. In addition, there is no regular electricity supply, a lack of facilities and consumables to facilitate using the technology. Research limitations Although an empirical study was conducted, respondents sometimes don't divulge full information. Practical implications The article addresses the critical success factors in crafting a strategic architecture for E-learning at H.P. University. E-learning is necessary for PCP students as they lose contact with their teachers after their PCP programs. Originality/value The article addresses the critical success factors for implementing E-Learning in a traditional university environment
