The selection of postgraduate students was done using a simple random sampling technique. An attitude scale was utilized for gathering the data. Percentage, mean, SD, t-test, and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. According to the report, postgraduate students in West Bengal's Paschim Bardhaman District have an average attitude towards online education.
