the 5th industrial revolution from the 1st industrial revolution. The difference between the 4th industrial revolution and other industrial revolutions is not only spatial; Rather, it is an inter-communication system through which remote knowledge can be easily extracted. This revolution based on information technology has made the world close and interdependent. Through this, we face collective difficulties and receive benefits as residents of the same village. Essentially, we must be IT-enabled to take advantage of the vast potential of the world. The main difference between the fourth industrial revolution and other industrial revolutions is that the first, second and third industrial revolutions replaced only human physical labor; But the fourth industrial revolution will replace not only physical but also mental labor. Student Capital is a new term coined by Christopher Quarles, a college math teacher. He first used this suffix while researching as a PhD fellow at the University of Michigan in the United States. He defines student capital as “having skills and resources and not being food insecure, homeless and ill.” Originally from the University of Michigan, researchers have developed a new way to measure academic achievement by looking at the total effect of all the characteristics and abilities students need to succeed in educational institutions, that fact can be considered as a powerful and effective proof for the success of the current changing education system. In this context, on the eve of the parliamentary elections held in 2008, according to the ‘Charter of Change’ declaration of ‘Digital Bangladesh by 2021’ announced by the then Awami League President and the current Prime Minister Honorable Sheikh Hasina on 12th December 2008. The educational institutions continued to move forward in view of the work started by the elected Sheikh Hasina government in the field of technology expansion. Rajshahi College, which ranks first in consideration of various dimensions, continues to play a leading role in moving forward. Since 2012, Rajshahi College has took up the program and connected all academic departments with the help of EasyCollegeMate interactive software, servers and optic fiber to store and use the data required by all the students. This program was successful in 2013. As a result, Rajshahi College’s admission and form fill-up for examinations became online based. Later, management of various activities became easy and accountable and Rajshahi College got national recognition by receiving the award of Best ICT College in Digital World Fair-2017. Receipt of this award further enhances the sense of duty and responsibility of the college. As a result, the college authorities started taking various programs in their own budget and initiative in some cases. In continuation of which this ICT training started for 21 days every month with college students.
