This study employed the technology acceptance model to explore perception of students towards adoption of various digital platforms in the state of Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh. The information was gathered through an online survey of 419 students from Indian Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh from various universities and colleges. Both the measurement and structural models were evaluated using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) method. The findings show that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness both have a positively impact on behavioural intention, which in turn has an impact on actual usage of various digital platforms. This research aids higher education decision-makers in determining the level of acceptance of the digital technology among students.
