Abstract: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are gaining popularity and these are a matter of appreciation among a large number of students worldwide. Currently, the Indian higher education system is ranked third in the world, and MOOCs are also growing rapidly in India. Therefore, systematic data analysis is the key requirement to understand the acceptance of MOOCs in higher education in India. Statistical data analysis is done on a data of 945 students from Graphic Era Hill University India, where MOOCs are a part of the academic curriculum and students are free to choose any MOOCs in each semester. This statistical analysis reveals the popularity of various platforms among students. It is also found that students’ selection of MOOC is not independent of gender and different academic level of courses. Overall, the statistical analysis suggests that MOOCs are acceptable for different streams and MOOCs offer ease in academic learning.
