All the teachers available at the time of study from five constituent agricultural colleges of ANGRAU were selected as sample for the study. The respondents were asked to express the constraints and suggestions to overcome the constraints in utilization of Instructional Technologies. The weighted sum for a particular constraint was worked out by summing up of all the individual score of each constraint elicited by the respondents. The ranking of constraints was done according to the weighted sum and percentage of each statement.78.89 per cent of respondent felt in adequate funding as most important constraint.
