The purpose of this study is to analyze the competency level of teachers on ICT and to compare the confidence level of teachers on ICT in terms of gender (male/female), types of schools (private/public) and level of teachers (basic/secondary). To achieve these goals, researcher had used survey design using questionnaire. Forty - five teachers were included in the survey from fourteen sampled schools of Ghorahi sub - metropolitan city. To analyze competency level of teachers on ICT, confidence interval was found and interpreted using arbitrary levels (0-32.33), (32.34-64.67) and (64.68-97) as low, medium and high respectively. Similarly, to compare confidence level of teachers on ICT, t-test at 0.05 level of significance was used. The results indicated that there was medium level of competency level of teachers on ICT and there was significance difference between the confidence level of mathematics teachers on ICT in terms of gender and types of schools but not in level of teachers. This finding illustrated that confidence level of male teachers and private school’s teachers was higher than that of female and public school’s teachers respectively but confidence level of teachers was same in terms of level of teachers.
