Several unprecedented public health measures were implemented in India and many other countries worldwide due to the recent coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a national and international public health emergency. These measures included travel restrictions, school closures, lockdowns, general restrictions, curfews, and quarantines. This study examines the stress experienced by postgraduate learners at several colleges in the Indian state of Punjab as a result of E-learning. Several difficulties have been plaguing students at home, including melancholy, anxiety, inadequate internet connections, and an insufficient study environment, to name a few examples. The use of online education has had a significant impact on postgraduate students and those with practical degrees. Students from rural areas and poor groups face significant challenges in pursuing their education through this online mode of delivery. Young people need to gain employment and productivity skills, and efforts to establish a robust education system in the state are desperately needed.
