Abstract: The use of information technologies has increased significantly in developing countries like India. Many educational institutes have adopted information and communication technology for academic and administration purposes. While technological devices on college campuses are ubiquitous, students' readiness for E-learning in India has yet to be thoroughly explored. The study intends to investigate students' intention to adopt E-learning using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. This research was exploratory, and data was collected online from 410 students (of a single university). The findings suggest that 'performance expectancy,' 'effort expectancy,' and 'social influence' support 'behavioral intention,' while 'facilitating conditions' are not favorable to support usage. Behavioral intention shows positive support for the usage of E-learning platforms. The moderating factors gender, graduation background, and region do not have an impact on behavioral intention or usage of E-learning. The study has positive implications for increasing the adoption of E-learning by the students in educational institutes, universities, and the Government.
