Purpose: The increasing adoption of e-learning requires examining how students view and embrace this method of education. To enhance the e-learning environment, the present paper depicts three pillars of e-learning: student attitude, teacher e-readiness, and the quality of e-learning delivered and its impact on student satisfaction. This study aims to analyze educational institutes in India engaged in arious e-platforms regarding their delivery of various online courses and their students' satisfaction with e-learning. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research framework is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and End User Computing Satisfaction models (EUCS). This is a pilot study; students enrolled in e-learning institutes were studied. The collected data of 124 students is subject to multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS. Findings: All the components of student satisfaction from e-learning, such as student attitude, teacher e-readiness, and the quality of e- learning, have a significant relationship with students satisfaction. Among the three components of student satisfaction, the quality of e- learning has a major impact. The pilot study results conclude that this study can also be conducted in the future by incorporating some minor changes in the questionnaire. Originality/Value: This research contributes theoretically to factors influencing e-learning adoption and acceptance among students. The findings hold practical implications for e-learning providers in the education industry for effective and efficient implementation of e- learning that enhances student satisfaction.
