The questionnaire consisted of various items like quality, benefits, barriers of online teaching, comparison between online and conventional teaching and overall perception of the students. A five-point Lichert scale was used to record the responses of the student. 91 students responded to Google form. Majority of the students rejected online teaching as the only mode of teaching.

There are certain barriers in online teaching - learning activity which can be reduced strategically by the administrators, to make it more interesting, acceptable & enjoyable by the students.
