The purpose of this research paper is to investigating ereadinessof the students in the affiliate Institutions of the Royal Commission in Jubail, and whether theirexperience in using ICTs influences their judgement towards ICTs, and whether their judgement andexperience toward ICTs influence their use of ICTs or not. Survey methodology is facilitated through theuse of the questionnaires. Survey domain is a random sampling of studentsin Institutions of the RoyalCommission of Jubail. With a 95% confidence level of a possible sample frame of 669, the study sampled1032 respondents (15%). Results showed that students’judgement towards ICTs is highly positive, whichreflect their e-readiness and willingness to use ICTs, but the analysis showed that the experience with ICTsdid not significantly predict students’judgement about ICTs use. It was discovered that the following set ofICTs requires the most attention in the future adoption planning by the Royal Commission for its threeaffiliate Higher education institutions (HEIs): “Blackboard”, “smart devices”, “e-bulletin boards”, and“e-materials”.
