Impact statement: This nationwide study provides critical evidence that increased perceived e-learning stress significantly reduces e-learning readiness among university students in Bangladesh. It identifies that students are currently under-prepared for digital learning, with female students, younger cohorts, and those outside the Dhaka division being particularly vulnerable. The findings highlight an urgent need for policymakers and academic institutions to implement systematic training for teachers and students, improve technological infrastructure, and prioritize mental health support to ensure the sustained continuation of a sound and equitable e-learning system during global crises.
