The findings of the study revealed that students had positive perception towards e-learning system and they showed interest to use e-learning system in their learning activities. Among eight factors considered in the study subjective norm and computer skills were most prominent factors which affect the perception of students towards e-learning followed by self-efficacy, innovativeness, behavioral intention, attitude, perceived hedonism and university climate in that order.
