Abstract: Background: During COVID-19, education has been shifted into the techno-economic culture. The shift should associate with plans to reduce this shift’s impact on the normal learning process. The change to online in higher education entails reshaping our view regarding higher education, including institutions and students’ needs. For instance, theoretical courses can be taught online. In contrast, the practical courses should be conducted face to face to ensure best teaching practices in monitoring and guiding students. So we were not sure of the perception of the faculty and students so this study puts in an effort to find the student’s and faculty’s perceptions of online learning during the pandemic. This is a very important study because as we know this Medical course is very much practically oriented.
