The medical curriculum imparts significant knowledge and instructional content to the students. E-learning is essential for helping students adjust to these changes in health professions education by providing an online, flexible learning environment. Moreover, the COVID-19 epidemic resulted in a prolonged closure of educational institutions, bringing E-Learning into the spotlight. The data about the awareness of the various Learning Management System (LMS) was collected through the Google questionnaire form (validated by faculty), from the second-year MBBS students (n=180) as per the 5-point Likert scale. Then MOODLE (Modular Object Learning Environment), a form of LMS, was introduced to the students through two contact sessions. Subsequently, they filled out the second 5-point Likert scale Google questionnaire form in which their perception of MOODLE was collected. The cumulative mean on a 5-point Likert scale was 2.68 to assess the awareness. The consensus was well below 50% with the mean value less than 2.5 in the majority of questions indicating less awareness. The cumulative mean of 3.66 and consensus was well above 60% in the majority of the questions indicating a positive perception of MOODLE. Most students were found to have a favourable opinion about the use of MOODLE.
