Descriptive research design and quantitative method were used in this study. A simple random sampling method was also used in the research. The population size was 1901 and the sample size was 92 in this study. For data collection, structured questioners were applied in interview. It is found that CTQ and SQ were in neutral position; System quality and System Use had neutral position but had a positive trend; CSE and IQ, US had moderately good, and PNB was in good position. This results may be helpful to use for the upgradation of EMIS and policy making.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Education Management Information System (EMIS) is an Information Technology (IT) based information system that includes collecting, storing , and processing , analyzeing raw data, and disseminateing information at various levels (Top, Middle, and Operational) of educational manager for planning and decision-making. EMIS collects various statistical data, and information from the educational institute and disseminates compressive, integrated, relevant, probable, explicit and good information to responsible educational administrators and managers to complete their responsibility for accomplishment the specific objectives (Ugwoke & Iruke Samuel, 2015; Bhatti & Adnan, 2010). It is contained essential information that is needed for all levels of educational managers to help the operations of all educational activities (Bright & Asare, 2019).
In Bangladesh, Ministry of Education (MOE) had established computerized EMIS funding by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and World Bank in 2012 to facilitate policymakers, educational planners, and managers at all educational organizations in policy formulation and management of education system (English in Action, Workshop Report, 2013; EMIS CELL, DSHE, version v7.0). This EMIS is centralized system. All private colleges of Bangladesh are using this system for various purpose. For achieving sustainable development, Centralized EMIS in administrative and academic activities of the educational institute to increase right accumulation and providing of quality information required to help the preparation of education good policies of disseminating quality of education (Nkata & Dida, 2020).
Mainly, Successful Education Management Information System (EMIS) depend on System Quality (Syst. Q), Information Quality (IQ), Service Quality (SQ). For getting better net benefit form EMIS, It is essential good Complementary Technology Quality (CTQ), Computer Self-Efficacy (CSE), and higher User Satisfaction (US), Intention to Use (IU). Information system of an educational organization is transmitted the information for effective and efficient educational administration (Sambo, 2011). When organizational information system has provided right and upgraded information to the educational managers, they have to take better efficient decision-making (Christopher, 2003; Gedifew, 2014). Effective EMIS is needed for achieving authentic, best quality, reliable information. For this reason researcher wants to evaluate the existing Education Management Information System based on the perceptions of principles at non-govt. College in Bangladesh. This study is conducted by quantitative method. In addition, there is insufficient research conducted in the Education Management Information filed in the Bangladesh context. So, there is necessity to study the evaluating of EMIS in Bangladesh.
