Abstract
Online education and e-mode of examination is one of the positive outcomes of pandemic caused by Covid-19. The educators wanted to find an alternative solution for the continuance of education and assessment of students during the lockdown. Higher educational institutions in developing countries are not familiar with online mode. However, it is inevitable to adapt to the changes in the education system. Initially the teachers and students were unable to follow this new mode of education. It is to be examined whether the students have understood the pre requisites and privileges of e-mode of examinations. Therefore, the present study is undertaken with the objective of analyzing the perception of the college students. The study has been conducted among 300 students of colleges affiliated to Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. The data required for the study have been collected through Google forms. Male and female students of first year, second year and third year of study have been included as the sample respondents. The type of colleges in which they are studying has been classified as government colleges, government aided colleges and self financing colleges. The students of all these types of colleges have been included in the sampling frame. The results showed that the students have understood well the pre requisites like need for smart phone, internet connectivity, restriction to communicate with others and prohibition of using printed or electronic materials during the examination time. The perception of students regarding pre requisites of e-mode of examinations varied in accordance with gender and class while the perception of students towards privileges of e-mode of examinations was influenced by their class.
