Abstract: Most nations implemented an emergency lockdown during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, which dramatically impacted all aspects of employment and social contact for everyone. During the pandemic, almost all physical classes are cancelled and started through virtual mode in all educational institutions. Along with other fields, education faced many difficulties due to this COVID-19. This paper's key objective is to know various college students' perceptions about studying through virtual mode. The learning and teaching communities valued students' viewpoints, and the questions in the online survey were meant to aid in understanding students' learning experiences and perceptions of the online delivery form. To know students' opinions, the researcher conducted a small survey through a semi-structured questionnaire made with Google Forms. Students and most faculties were new to this virtual mode and needed some training. In this survey, the opinions are collected from 230 students and used statistical tools for analysis. Analytical papers investigate all questions and develop inferences from the outcomes. The literature has tried to understand students' views of virtual learning and identify success factors.
