Hi

Please help me with this:

In classroom situation student says "I have a/few doubt(s) pertaining to the concept taught."

Is it correct?

I have this questions because I remember someone telling me 'I have a /few question(s)...' is natural in the context.

Please give your comments.

It is a very common error to use "doubt" when "question" is intended. It's quite disconcerting at times when a teacher says something like "A sentence must begin with a capital letter", and a student says "I have doubts about that". It is as if the student has just called the teacher a liar.
