This study aims to explore the experiences of students enrolled in Education Studies (Bachelor of Education and Master of Education) at the University College of Education, Osmania University, Hyderabad, during the 2022-2023 academic year. The perceived course experiences of the 48 student teachers at Osmania University’s University College of Education in Hyderabad, India, are examined using a survey. A 25-item SETLQ designed to describe features of how students view their teaching learning environment (TLE) in a particular course unit is utilised. The findings demonstrate that students’ opinions of different TLE components and overall TLE are beneficial to the course modules that have been taught to them. The way both male and female students saw their TLE did not show change. The graduation level had no bearing on the students’ assessment of TLE, and their perception of TLE was influenced by their achievement. The courses that students studied had little bearing on how they felt about TLE, and neither did their age group. The suggestions were made for better training results, raising the calibre of participation experiences, and fostering greater understanding among participants.
