Cronbach's alpha and Pearson correlation, the goodness of fit, ANOVA and multiple linear regression analysis was applied. Findings: Furthermore, the results obtained stated that attitude and usefulness proved to be statistically significant as the two variables contribute a statistically significant number of predictions to the practice of adoption of the e-teaching methodology by students. Additionally, it was found out that students there is a strong requirement from the institute and teachers' part to motivate the students to take interest in e-teaching and students should be given an opportunity to develop a sense of empowerment so, that they can feel comfortable and can discuss their query's confident during the e-classes. Research limitations/implications: This study was completed within a time constraint. So, the sample size is small i.e. 216 and variables, which influence the adoption of the e-teaching methodology of learning by students are not exhaustive. There might be many other variables, which are still unexplored and should have been part of this study. Practical implications: This study will be beneficial for the education sector to better understand the impact of e-teaching methodologies on the learning and development of students in a more practical way. Originality/value: The study adds value to the literature in the domain of online teaching and the level of e-learning from students' perspectives in the era of this new pandemic crisis. Then, will be beneficial for not only the students but also will help the institution and teachers to understand the mindset of the students in detail and can improve the way knowledge is delivered to the students by the means of e-classes in a sustainable way.
