Current education systems have been placed in e-learning modes as the world tackles the health dangers of Covid-19. Students have been placed at their home environments and subjected to learning via online technology to enable learning to take place even in these conditional situations. A lot of attention has been given to how students perceived their learning. To find out how students perceived their learning condition, the present study aims to investigate the perception of e-learning among Malaysian undergraduates. The objectives are mainly to identify students’ perception towards being subjected to e-learning conditions and to determine students’ perceptions of the advantages of having e-learning to substitute for face-to-face learning. The study used quantitative analysis based on an online survey which was disseminated to 79 respondents through social media. The results revealed that students have positive experience with e-learning and think that it should be an option provided by the university. Even though many still prefer face-to-face learning compared to e-learning, they admitted that e-learning has some advantages such as improving their skills in finding information on the internet, saving money from transportation to the university, becoming more independent and becoming more appreciative of their learning.
