Abstract

Online education has gained immense popularity among the working people and students pursuing higher education. Various renowned universities all over the world are offering online degrees and diplomas to all people through digital technologies. This enhances the concept of online classes due to the complete shutdown of educational institutions for an indefinite COVID-19 pandemic situation. Though the online classes are an immediate and emergency paradigm shifting in teaching and learning, it has certain drawbacks that concern the student to a larger extent. To examine the effects of online classes in terms of quality, comfort, and compatibility, this study analyzes the students' perception of various arts, science, and engineering colleges. Drawing on data from various students and its statistical test has inferred various challenges faced by the students with respect to their discipline and living locality. The result of statistical analysis recommends more improvisations and special considerations to the educational institutions to make this mode a viable solution.
