The Coronavirus pandemic has affected all walks of life in an unprecedented manner and in order to curb the spread of the same the government imposed a stringent lockdown. This led to profound effects on the education and training of medical programmes including dentistry. The study was conducted as a cross sectional online survey circulated among dental post graduate students in Karnataka, India. This study assesses the impact of COVID-19 on the dental post graduate training programme considering various factors like impact on teaching, training, dissertation, various problems and difficulties faced by the residents and reasons for stress induced among them. It also addresses suggestions which would help in alleviation of the problems. The Government must ensure that the concerned teaching organisations should take the required measures in order to relieve the residents of the various problems faced and provide rational solutions for the same.
