1. How Well Is The University Prepared?
Education has faced a major setback in India after the COVID-19
outbreak. More than 315 million learners were affected as education
halted throughout the country.
The pandemic causes the universities to shut down and go in
complete online mode to continue education among students.
There are various doubts and queries that arise among the people
while discussing the modes of teaching. While people are still
concerned about joining the offline mode of education as the
coronavirus pandemic still lingers in India, some are also sceptical
of whether the online mode of education called E-learning will be
beneficial. The university has brought an end to this rising concern
by clearing your worries with its complete preparation.
2. Facing the new normal
As COVID-19 is still surging in some parts of India, universities
have now found out ways to battle the same and are implementing
them to provide quality education. The university has prepared for
all the modes of education; be it offline mode, online mode, or
hybrid mode. The online mode of education had certain concerns
on whether it would be beneficial for future reference, or not.
The university has now braced itself to give quality education
through an online medium. It has planned for using various
mediums of technology to ensure that the students get the best
learning experience in an online learning/E-learning mode
similar to that of the offline mode of academic delivery. Various
assessments and assignments will be provided to ensure a hands-on
learning experience through online mode.
If the government recommends a classroom mode of academic
delivery, the university has ensured that the State and Central
Government protocols related to COVID-19 shall be adhered to in
letter and spirit. The university has revamped the existing
infrastructure to welcome new students coming to the campus while
implementing ways to make them feel better and energetic.
Having prepared for all modes of education, the university now
awaits the confirmation of the Government for the coming academic
year to deliver a world-class experience to the students.
Health issues- the spotlight
As per various research and confirmation from psychologists, India
has scrutinised depression and anxiety among students and
teachers due to the online mode of education, as there is a huge
pressure on both the teams to convey the teaching and to grasp the
knowledge through an online medium.
3. Keeping this in consideration, the university is well prepared in this
concerned subject. It has established a dedicated Task Force to
guide the students, faculty, and staff members suffering from any
kind of mental or psychological issues pertaining to academics,
COVID-19, or associated areas.
Psychologists of the university have been mentoring the students
and employees to enable them to overcome their routine stress as
well as stress arising due to online academic delivery and
assessment mechanisms.
Unveiling talents
The offline mode of education gave students leverage to unveil
talents with the help of cultural festivals and various other activities.
Keeping a close eye on those talents, the university has organised
multiple engaging activities and programs through online mode to
give an opportunity to the students to exhibit their special talents so
that they can nurture their hobbies and passion.
Availing technology to upskill
The focus on enhancing experiential learning is high with an
emphasis on technology-enabled skill enhancement. The university
used the online mode of academic delivery and leveraged the Zoom
platform to conduct a series of webinars, online lectures, and online
events to sustain the model of excellence in academics, research,
and allied areas.
Proffer placements
As students were dubious of finding jobs or if the university would
have been able to offer placements like they did when lectures were
conducted offline, the university did not fail to abide by the needs
and expectations of the students. It has focused on maintaining the
pace of placements even during the times of COVID-19. The

interviews held on technology-based sources like Zoom.
University so far has been committed to enhancing the overall
experience of students in teaching, learning, and assessment.
And it also aims to do so in the future.
By catering to all the needs of the students and employees, the
university ensures that all the guidelines put forth by the authorities
will be followed and there will be proper sanitization and social
distancing among the staff members and students.
The university is also prepared to keep the students engaged in
online mode by having assessments and gaining knowledge on
advanced technologies while it also strives to offer students online
placements via interviews.
