  • Abstract:
  • The rapid integration of digital technologies in education has transformed the learning landscape, particularly in higher education. This study examines the comparative effectiveness of internet-based learning and traditional classroom learning in enhancing the skills of postgraduate students in Pune City. The findings indicate that online learning offers flexibility, accessibility, and promotes self-directed learning, whereas traditional classroom learning significantly contributes to communication skills, teamwork, and practical understanding. The study further indicates that a single mode of learning is not sufficient for holistic development. Instead, a blended learning approach, which integrates both online and offline methods, provides the most effective framework for comprehensive skill enhancement among students.
