The whole country has witnessed a massive change in the functioning at all spheres in the last two years due to Covid-19 pandemic. Education sector and, particularly, higher education in India had never gone through such a transformation which was totally unprepared for. Shifting to online teaching from face-to-face was a natural compulsion at all levels of education. Technical teachers also had to accept this challenge of engaging their students online. Even for the students, this unforeseen change to online learning was filled with several challenges; though some prospects could also be explored. The present study has been undertaken with some crucial objectives; viz. to identify the preference of the students for learning online over conventional learning; to explore the challenges faced in online learning; and to categorise the levels of motivation and confidence of students while studying on virtual platform. Teachers’ perception related to quality parameters in online learning was also observed. Though students were excited about using gadgets in learning, they found the traditional/conventional classes more interesting than those conducted online. Blended learning seemed to be the preferred mode of learning by the students. The teachers realised that apart from the cognitive aspect, the affective domain also matters even in higher education.
