The advent of privatization has lead to a cut throat competition among the various educational institutes thus designing an effective website is very important. For designing an effective website it is required to identify the need of the visitors of the website. In current scenario the objective of websites of an educational institute is to provide the student and other users an information platform where they can retrieve any information and also can perform other tasks like learning and tracking records. In order to increase the usability of a website it is required to identify the important parameters that visitor look in a site.
