Abstract: The uncertainties and dismay of lockdown due to Covid -19 on people all around the world is immense, and all are going through a trying time, which will be fully resolved only when a vaccination or effective treatment strategy will be successfully implemented across the globe. By considering the effect of lockdown on employees especially on Information Technology (hear after IT) professionals, a descriptive study was conducted with an objective to find out the impact of lockdown due to Covid-19 among employees in IT and related fields. A questionnaire was developed for data collection and its reliability analysis indicated a Cronbach alpha value of 0.815. The questionnaire was distributed through online platforms and the collected data were analysed by using Mann-Whitney Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test. The result indicated that more than 50 percent of the sample scored higher than the midpoint in the different variables. Thus, the study revealed remarkable psycho-social impact of lockdown among employees in IT and related areas.
