摘要:When COVID-19 prevailed, the educational system was shifted to online rather than traditional to facilitate the learning process. This study aimed at exploring the impacts of online learning techniques on the students' Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). A total of 155 randomly selected students currently studying M.

Collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings unveiled that online learning techniques improved the learning abilities, personality traits and teaching styles as perceived by the respondents which further improved the CGPA of students. Within the effects on learning abilities, enabling students to judicious use of technology, multimedia, observation and clearing the concepts were major improvements which helped students to attain an increase in CGPA. As for as effects on personality traits were concerned, social interaction enhanced communication skills and improvement in understanding, social skills and confidence led the students to get high CGPA.
