COVID-19's quick rise as a pandemic has had an impact on practically everyone's life and has transformed the way people used to interact. 1 It has also had an impact on medical education and clinical training, forcing medical institutions to transition to an online teaching approach. Medical education and clinical training have traditionally emphasised classroom teaching and bedside training, while several e-learning methods have recently gained popularity among students and teachers. 2 COVID-19 has been a oncein-a-lifetime experience for medical teachers and students, and that is not an exaggeration. Given the lack of expensive ABSTRACT Background: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected medical education and clinical training and forced medical schools to switch over to online teaching. To assess the success of online learning, knowing students' perceptions is an important criterion. The present study evaluated the students' insight toward online teaching and learning. Aim of the current study was to evaluate the students' perspective toward online teaching through an online questionnaire in the challenging time of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Objective of the study was to assess students' perception of online teaching and barriers faced by them. Methods: This institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted between 1 September to 30 September 2021 at medical college, Hyderabad. Out of 600 students of MBBS 1 to 4 year, 329 agreed to participate. They were given an online questionnaire that included the Dundee ready education environment measure, to assess students' perception of the educational environment. A part of it was used, i.e., SPL (students' perception of learning) domain, to assess the student's perception. Results: Overall score of perception of online teaching-learning according to the SPL domain was 23.41±4.61, which was less than the optimal score of 25, which indicated many problems in this method of online teaching-learning. 67.5% preferred face-to-face teaching to online teaching. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected traditional teaching-learning methods, and online teaching has emerged as a boon to continue the learning process. However, many students faced many obstacles adapting to this new learning model. Hence, the offline mode of teaching was preferred over the online mode.

Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards the people living with HIV (PLHIV) has a pivotal role in preventing further progression of the disease.

Special nursing knowledge and expertise are required to care for these patients and the present study aimed to address this issue.Methods: A cross-sectional study of KAP on HIV/AIDS was conducted between January 2022 and February 2022 among nursing college students at a tertiary care centre using a standard questionnaire. Data collected was entered and analysed with MS excel 2013 and Epi info 7.2.5 and represented in form of tables.Results: Overall knowledge of the nursing students was good.
