The participants were asked to complete a pre-tested and pre-designed questionnaire. A Googlequestionnaire was developed. A pilot test was given to 10 participants to test the validity of Google questionnaire.Then the Google questionnaire was mailed to the students and results were analysed.Results: A total of 90 students answered the questionnaire. Students were generally satisfied with the course(83.3%) and with technical aspects of online lectures, the positive feedback was from 62% to maximum of 75%.But they also pointed out that the weaknesses of online learning are the lack of interaction among students anddifficulty in concentrating during online lectures.Conclusion: The inevitable transformation of medical education caused by CoVID-19 is still ongoing. E-learningprovided us the needed mode to continue delivering the course in the need of the hour. However, hybrid modelcombining both modalities can achieve better results.
