Abstract
Introduction: This study investigated medical students' perception of E-learning and online assessment during Covid19 and their suggestion to overcome the problems. Method: A total of 300 1st year medical students of Calcutta National
Medical College and Rampurhat Govt. Medical College were surveyed by a pre-validated semi-structured
questionnaire that was provided to the 2021-22 batch. Result: Among 242 respondents (169 at CNMC and 73 at
RPHGMC)159 were males (mean age 20.14 ±2.22yrs.) and 83 were females (mean age 19.65±.1.1yrs.).68.8% of students
of both the colleges revealed that offline traditional teaching is more preferrable than e-leaning.They reported that elearning is not much effective in practical physiology teaching. Poor network, Technical glitches and lack of
communication with teachers are outlined as major barriers in online teaching. Conclusion: Students did not prefer eteaching over face-to-face teaching during the lock down situation.
