AbstractDuring Covid 19 Pandemic, the field of medical education was severely affected. Faculty members and students alike felt the need for E-learning. In E-learning students can learn at their own convenience from remote locations and the matter can be repeated a number of times as and when required. In developing countries like India a lot of efforts were required to ensure that the transition to E-learning would be smooth. A good quality internet service is costly, technical problems and students unfamiliar with E-learning systems are some of the problems faced. The present paper expresses a student’s perception of E-learning as a result of COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges faced. It is crucial that medical instructors communicate knowledge on effectiveness of E-learning and remove inhibitions among the students. Although E-learning is an effective tool which has come into a full-fledged existence after the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many challenges yet to be overcome in medical education.
