Abstract: A global trend toward online learning has been observed in educational institutions, especially those in West Bengal, since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic. Even though online learning has been there for a while, the epidemic has hastened its uptake, making it an essential part of the educational environment. Similar to numerous other institutions, West Bengal colleges were forced to swiftly shift to online educational environments, which required modifications to staff training and pedagogical approaches. Responses to the introduction of online instruction in West Bengali colleges have been mixed. Some educators welcomed the chance to experiment with cutting-edge teaching techniques and new technologies, but others found adjusting to this new training style extremely difficult. These difficulties may affect teacher satisfaction and general performance because of restricted access to technology, poor infrastructure, and a lack of training. This study delves into the experiences and attitudes of college teachers in West Bengal towards online teaching, exploring its impact on their job satisfaction and performance. It examines the challenges and opportunities associated with online instruction, focusing on the unique context of higher education in West Bengal. This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing teacher satisfaction, identifies potential strategies for improvement, and offers recommendations for policymakers and administrators to enhance the effectiveness of online teaching in West Bengal's colleges.
