After formal IRB approval, data was collected through google forms through WhatsApp groups from willing students. The data was compiled and analyzed by using SPSS software 26. The Chi-square test was applied to determine the relationship between the variables by keeping the study power at 80%. Results. Out of 428 respondents, 301(70.3%) were females. The mean age of the participants was 21+3years. Out of all the participants, 127(29.7%) had a suspicion of covid, while 237(55.4%) had flu-like symptoms, and 122(28.5%) got themselves tested. Painful experience100(35%),37(13%) fear of side effects,207(72%)lack of guidance,135(47%)limited access, and 170(59%) cost were significant barriers toward covid testing. More than 50% agreed that social media's role was ineffective in spreading correct information.
