The COVID-19 pandemic times showed the need for blending e-learning in medical education. The current study aims to find the perceptions of undergraduate medical students on e-learning. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 848 students on perceptions about elearning. Private college students and Phase IV students significantly faced more data exhaustion. The government college students and phase IV students significantly felt that classes were more monotonous. The longer duration of e-learning caused health effects. Thus, to bring about a better learning environment e-learning can be integrated into the MBBS curriculum as a supplement to bedside and small group learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
