The digital transformation in higher education is considered as one of the mega trends in education sector and gained potential in recent times. It basically describe the transformation from traditional learning to virtual learning. Digital transformation is not adapted by all the institutions, though the majority of the institutions are practicing digitization in education. They are restricted only to the basic part of digitalization. Tools such as use of PPTs, software like word, excel etc. are used in teaching students. Students are not exposed to use digital and digital aids. The researchers in this study have attempted to understand the concept of digitalizing education service, the perception of students with regard to digitalization and to evaluate the requirements of students in respect to digitalization.
The study revealed that although many institutions of higher learning are practicing digital media for the benefit of instructors and students, there is still a lot that needs to be done. It was also found that majority of the students prefer improvement in learning through digitalization.
