The digital journey of learning has been of different perceptions to different communities. We study the perception of students regarding online learning during the lockdown period in three different communities of India i.e. rural, urban and metropolitan on the basis of survey of 411 students during lockdown period. Ten problem statements have been considered to be rated at Likert’s Five Scale. To check the reliability, Cronbach's α, to analyze the data- mean & standard deviation and to validate the results t-test and Post Hoc Test have been used. It is concluded that majority of students have smart phones in urban and metropolitan but neutral to learning while rural students prefer the conventional leaning. This study contributes to the new theory of the efficacy of digital learning as mode of learning in and after lock down period that will bring the attention of educational agencies, faculty members as well as policy makers towards the problems faced by the students in digital learning.
