The growing implication of information technologies for educational institutions in general and learning in particular has been a subject of discussion. Nowadays, it has become essential for every educational institution to adopt new teaching and learning techniques. E-learning is seen as an option to deliver courses via Internet irrespective of the place. This research seeks to understand the preferences and experiences of students with regard to e-learning and also their awareness about the modules of the e-learning application (Moodle) being provided by the institution. The survey was conducted in the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. A questionnaire was used to collect the data from the students. 124 responses were received from post-graduate and doctoral level research students. The collected data was further analysed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and interpreted according to the objectives of the study. It is found that students are aware of e-learning management tool (Moodle) but, they are not aware of the various modules of Moodle and how to use these institutions should provide proper training and awareness program to the students in Moodle.Keywords
