With the advent of COVID-19 pandemic trend of online education emerged quite significantly even in developing countries like India despite of unpreparedness and willingness. We conducted a survey on learners having online education for finding out their perceived communication obstacles in online learning. The present study found communication barriers at learner-learner communication barrier dimension are anxiety, distraction, low motivation level, at learner-instructor communication barrier dimension are low satisfaction level of interaction, however, not majorly; less emotional connection with teacher despite of no language barrier, less personal attention and less gesture communication of teacher, issue of timely and effective address of queries and feedback and at learner-technology communication barrier are network connectivity and technical difficulties despite of no problem in the e-learning medium, power point teaching and audio-video learning. Students perceive that feeling of lack of reward mechanism, technological and motivational issues make online learning less satisfying than face to face learning. Consequently, students are not likely to study next course in online mode or recommending others for the same.
