Abstract: The testing times of Covid Pandemic had made online classes the new norm of academic transmission of knowledge. The inevitability of a smart device and Internet access in a student's life had made drastic changes in their academic perspectives. The present study aimed to analyze the attitude of students towards Internet and online classes based on data collected from 111 student respondents belonging to different age and education categories from different parts of the Ernakulam district of Kerala. The frequency analysis and Chi-Square analysis were applied to study the data and found that gender and age categories had no significant association with time spent on online classes while the education category of students shows a significant association.
