Objective: Ample research has been published lately exploring the strengths and weaknesses of online teaching in medical education but very few have reported the students’ perception towards this shift. The current study was designed to evaluate the perception of medical undergraduates in Northern India of online teaching and their readiness and limitations towards its adoption. The knowledge summarized henceforth would help in identifying potential areas of improvement leading to an upgradation in the quality of online teaching and better medical education
