Globally, due to COVID-19 outbreak universities are closed in lockdown, most teachers and students are happy about online education. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of satisfaction with online learning. Materials and Methods: Quantitative research approach and survey research design was used. Arts, Engineering and Nursing students who satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected as samples. Data was collected using investigator prepared five point rating scale. Data analysis was done in terms of frequency and percentage with descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The result of the study shows that majority of students 291(97.0%) had moderate level of satisfaction regarding online classes, 8 (2.7%) had high level of satisfaction and 1 (0.3%) had low level of satisfaction. Statistically significant association was found between the level of satisfaction of the students and gender (P-0.5185), hours of spending in online classes (P -0.0001), mode of online classes (P-0.0631), year of students (P- 0.0017) and course of students (P-0). Conclusion: This study concludes that students have moderate level of satisfaction with online classes and their satisfaction level is associated with certain demographics variables like gender, hours of spending in online classes, mode of online class, year of students and their course.
