The spread of Coronavirus pandemic and the resulting lockdown has significantly disrupted every facet of human life including education. The education system has never thought of such an unprecedented situation and thus, it had caused a colossal disparity within it. More than 1.2 billion children were out of the classroom, in India almost 32 crore learners stopped going to educational institutions. In India the online learning has many concerns like awareness, its effectiveness, stable internet connectivity, electricity supply, required devices etc. In this study we are trying to address such queries, constraints and to analyse impacts of COVID-19 on the students by understanding their opinion, inclinations and their mental health via an online survey of 399 engineering students in two institutions of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Our results revealed that smartphone is the most popular device since 88.97% used it whereas mobile GPRS is the first choice for the Internet connectivity since 75.18% respondents used it.

Abstract


The spread of Coronavirus pandemic and the resulting lockdown has significantly disrupted every facet of human life including education. The education system has never thought of such an unprecedented situation and thus, it had caused a colossal disparity within it. More than 1.2 billion children were out of the classroom, in India almost 32 crore learners stopped going to educational institutions. In India the online learning has many concerns like awareness, its effectiveness, stable internet connectivity, electricity supply, required devices etc. In this study we are trying to address such queries, constraints and to analyse impacts of COVID-19 on the students by understanding their opinion, inclinations and their mental health via an online survey of 399 engineering students in two institutions of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Our results revealed that smartphone is the most popular device since 88.97% used it whereas mobile GPRS is the first choice for the Internet connectivity since 75.18% respondents used it.
