As Covid19 entered the world in the beginning of 2020, India also witnessed rising number of cases as of huge population next to china. As a safety measure against Covid 19 pandemic, as per the government order, university announced holidays for the students from 16 march 2020. Colleges were shut from long time, didn’t even conduct the examination for the first and second year of UG course and first year of PG course. Only final year students appeared for the exams with so much of worry and fear. though Covid 19 started spreading rapidly educationist did not stop teaching . Teachers explored new way of teaching by learning new technology and continue to engage students during pandemic. The universities are meant for traditional teaching ,adopted to online teaching as per the guidelines of UGC.

The COVID 19 pandemic led to the need to adapt to teaching methodologies, due to the impossibility of having presential classes. Therefore, online teaching and learning have played an important role in Higher Education for the last year. Another way to increase student engagement is to involve and consult student representatives, students from specific communities, to better understand specific needs and ensure that solutions offered are suitable for all and leave nobody behind. The online platforms supply an avenue where users can get up to date information on upcoming educational conferences and seminars. These platforms provide detailed information about the conference like the quality of sessions for every conference, the speakers for every session, topics for discussion for every session and the duration for every session. The COVID 19 crisis focused a move towards online teaching and learning, thereby creating space for more flexible learning possibilities, exploring blended learning, and mixing synchronous learning with asynchronous learning. The govt is providing many E Learning platforms to develop the covid 19 pandemic period. during the covid 19 pandemic situation, many students can use the E learning platform different thanks to the teaching learning process. They have progressed rapidly from classroom instruction to online distribution model to the transition between multiple classes and services.

Education & technology in an age of covid 19 2BilalArshed1
Many educational reformers have long held out hope that computers and other information and computer technologies (ICTs) can play crucial and integral roles in bringing about long-needed changes to education systems. Indeed, many see the introduction of ICTs in schools as a sort of Trojan horse,
Emergency education refers to education for populations affected by emergency situations (Sinclair, 2001; UNESCO, 2017). These situations could be man-made or natural disasters that disrupt radically the usual conditions of life, care, and education facilities for children, causing an inability to attain the right to education (Rights of The Child to Education in Emergencies, 2008). Education in emergencies started around the 1990s as one of the elements of humanitarian responses to emergencies (Burde et al., 2017), but it was not till the 2000s that education was separated from developmental activities in humanitarian responses to emergencies due to the efforts of a group of educators (Burde et al., 2011). and now it is regarded as one of the pillars of humanitarian actions in emergencies. This is due to the fact that it is reported that education is usually neglected during the early response to emergencies (Muñoz, 2010), and during which many rights to education violations occur (Nicolai et al., 2015).
The special case of education in times of emergencies arises from the challenges that face the learning process in these situations. Being in the center of a conflict zone or facing a devastating natural disaster could lead to an impairment of students’ learning abilities (Tauson, & Stannard, 2018). It has been reported that trauma impacts the cognitive and executive functions of the brain which in its turn hinders learning abilities (Tauson, 2016; Mougrabi-Large, & Zhou , 2020). In the case of national health emergencies, trauma could cause anxiety and stress for children and adults (NCTSN, n.d). Hence, special care needs to be given to education in times of emergencies. Education could provide a safe space for students during a crisis (Nicolai, 2015), giving the much needed psychosocial support for development, as well as, hope, stability, and a sense of security (UNSECO, 2017). But more importantly, especially during Covid-19 penadamic, is that maintaining a good level of quality education during crisis will act as the backbone for the reconstruction and restoration phase after the crisis is over UNSECO, 2017).
The global epidemic of the Corona virus has wreaked havoc on a variety of industries. One of them is the education industry. Due to Covid-19, governments all around the world have begun temporarily closing schools and colleges. School and university closures would not only have a short-term impact on the continuity of learning for India's more than 285 million young learners, but will also have far-reaching economic and societal ramifications as the days pass with no rapid way to stop the breakout of Covid-19.

La COVID-19 ha irrumpido en la vida de los seres humanos causando efectos devastadores en la salud y en la vida de gran parte de la población mundial, afectando a las esferas sociales, económicas y educativas del planeta. La comunidad científica se encuentra ante uno de sus mayores retos para resolver un problema sanitariode alcance global como es la pandemia del COVID-19. Esta situación ha generado un volumen de publicaciones sin precedentes. El impacto del COVID-19 en la enseñanzaha supuesto que los momentos de contacto social hayan desaparecido a cambio de reuniones, clases, exámenes o encuentros virtuales. En este escenario, las aulas universitarias al volver a abrirse no serán las mismas, tampoco sus campus ni espacios del ámbito educativo, deberán aportan creatividad en el a la hora de organizarse y usarse. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las publicaciones científicas relacionadas con los efectos del COVID-19 en las aulas universitarias durante el período 2019 hasta la actualidad. Para esto, se realizó un análisis bibliométrico de la literatura científica. Se identificaron 676documentos sobre esta temática. Los resultados del análisis revelaron que la productividad científica se ha incrementado desde enero de 2020 con más de 650 artículos sobre la enfermedad, verificando el profundo interés por el COVID-19 en todas las disciplinas. Las principales tendencias de investigación incluyen el impacto de la vuelta a las aulas con los efectos en los procesos cognitivos, motivaciones y del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.
Most governments around the world have closed educational institutes to help contain the spread of COVID-19 which has affected people regardless of their income, gender, level of education, or nationality.
The lockdown has inevitably interrupted conventional schooling, exposing the many inadequacies and inequities (i.e. lack of access to broadband and computers required for online education) in the education systems around the world.
While the governments and the educational communities have made a significant effort to ensure that children continue to receive their education despite the difficult circumstances, a large part of the world’s student population still remains unreachable by the remote learning programs run by their institutes.
Here’s a look at the impact of COVID-19 on education, highlighting the different delivery channels for remote learning and the steps governments and education institutions can take to overcome the challenges of carrying out learning programs remotely.
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the educational institutions in Australia and New Zealand, thus online learning was a significant option for education to be smoothly continued. This could possibly enhance the Computer-based exams (CBEs) to be used in various courses, such as schools, universities and other training centres. As there are many educational institutions which have chosen to convert from paper test system to computer- based exam. However, adopting computer tests may lead to some difficulties for the students, which relates to technical defects and lake of computer skills of some students when they are applying the computer based exams. The purpose of the paper was to discuss online learning during Covid19 and the possibility of adopting (CBEs), then to determine negative and positive effects on the students of using computer-based exams and focus on some of suggesting solutions to the negative effects. Computer test which could cause negative effects on students due to various levels of skills to use a computer and some technical problems was examined. The design of the computer examination system requires careful planning and study from several aspects before becoming officially accepted, the computer-based exams still have a few problems which may lead to difficulties in using computer exams. Then the many benefits which could be gained by using computer-based exams, such as the student will be more independent with computer test were described. In addition, the students have access to the exams through the internet network. Finally, the effectiveness of certain strategy to solve the negative effects of computer-based exams were argued. Developing the solutions of the technical problems are required for computer test, where improving the input methods questions and corrections. It was resulted that online learning has considered as a better option during COVID-19 pandemic, and the computer exam, with adjustments, is more suitable for students.

COVID19 Outbreak A Study on Indian Education Sector.pptxRupesh Yadav
In the second week of March, state governments across the country began shutting down schools and colleges temporarily as a measure to contain the spread of the Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). The structure of schooling and learning, including teaching and assessment methodologies, was the first to be affected by these closures. Only a handful of private schools could adopt online teaching methods. On the other hand, low-income private and government school have completely shut down for not having access to e-learning solutions. This is a crucial time for the education sector as because the board examinations, nursery school admissions, entrance tests of various universities and competitive examinations are all held during this period. In the present study an attempt has been made to analyse the effects of this COVID-19 outbreak on Indian education sector and possible measures which can be taken in this regard by Government.
Understanding the Impact and Challenges of Corona Crisis on Education Sector...vivatechijri
n the second week of March 2020, governments of all states in a country suddenly declared
shutting down of all colleges and schools for a temporary period of time as an immediate measure to stop the
spread of pandemic that is of novel corona virus. As the days pass by almost close to a month with no certainty
when they will again reopen. Due to pandemic like this an alarm bells have started sounding in the field of
education where a huge impact can be seen on teaching and learning process as well as on the entire education
sector in turn. The pandemic disruption like this is actually gave time to educators of today to really think about
the sector. Through the present research article, the author is highlighting on the possible impact of
coronavirus on education sector with the future challenges for education sector with possible suggestions.
The shift of learning activities from face-to-face classroom interaction to online learning beyond the classroom due to the global pandemic has caused technological anxiety in teaching and learning. This study analyzed strategies to overcome learning challenges in the COVID-19 pandemic with user-friendly platforms. This study was in the State Institute of Islamic Studies (IAIN) Surakarta, Indonesia, involving 469 lecturers who taught 983 classes as the respondents. The required data were collected using a webbased questionnaire using Google Forms. The data were analyzed descriptively in percentages and elaborated using focus group discussion. The data analysis showed that most teachers used WhatsApp group to overcome learning obstacles during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the considerations are the lack of information technology infrastructure, the lack of e-learning platforms, the lack of time to adapt, and the difficulty of internet access in some regions. This study contributes to the strategy performed by the lecturers to deal with these challenges is selecting a userfriendly and affordable platform for learning.
Medical Education in Times of Covid 19 Pandemicijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic has required medical educators across the world to deal with the huge responsibility of rethinking how they can continue to deliver high quality medical education at a time when medical schools are closing face to face teaching due to social isolation strategies and educators have to cope with their enormous clinical responsibilities. In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, most medical schools across the world have started to rapidly transfer their curricula from face to face to online teaching. Thus there is a need to discuss how the changes after the pandemic can have an impact on both educators and students across the world.

COMPARISON OF E-LEARNING AND CLASSROOM TRAINING FOR BACHELOR STUDENTS OF TRAD...IJITE
This paper describes a test and case study of self-evaluation of online courses during the pandemic time.
Due to the Covid-19, the whole world needs to sit on lockdown in different periods. Many things need to be
done in all kinds of business including education sector of countries. To sustain the education development,
teaching methods had to switch from traditional face-to-face teaching to online courses. The government
made decisions quickly, and educational institutions had no time to prepare the materials for online
education. All classes of the Mongolian University of Pharmaceutical Sciences switched to online lessons.
Challenges were raised before professors and tutors during online teaching. Our university did not have a
specific learning management system for online education and e-learning. Therefore, professors used
different platforms for their online instructions, such as Zoom and Google meet.
Moreover, different social networking platforms played an active role in communication between students
and professors. The situation is challenging for professors and students. To measure the quality of online
courses and figure out the positive and weak points of online teaching, we need to evaluate e-learning.
The unprecedented impact of Covid-19 on education systems around the world has affected more than 1.6 billion students representing 91% of all students in the world. World over Education is experiencing Non-Linear Changes.
COVID -19 has given a death blow to Higher Education by attacking the essential element of social connection on which the university and higher education system thrives forcing the world over all the universities within 7 to 10 days to go for online education. At the moment, universities are focused on ensuring academic continuity for students through “emergency remote teaching.”
The big question that arises is that will this Online Teaching be able to produce lasting change?

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1.5. Functioning of Laboratories
Like teaching, research has also suffered during the
lockdown period as the laboratories are closed. It would be
appropriate that during the periodoflockdown,laboratories
are maintained by the research staff/ teachers of the
concerned department(s) on rotation basis, without
violating the norms of “social distancing”. However, the
universities may take appropriate decision to allow PIs/
Ph.D. scholars and Post-Doctoral Fellows to maintain labs/
conduct research, with strict compliance of the guidelines/
directives issued by the appropriate authorities/
Governments from time to time.
2. Academic calendar
1. The following calendar is suggested for the academic session 2019-2020:
The Academic Calendar is suggestive in nature.Theuniversitiesmayadopt/adaptitaftermakinga comprehensive assessment
of their level of preparedness, residential status of the students, and status of COVID-19 pandemic spread in their city/region
/state and other factors.
The following calendar is suggested for the academic session 2020-2021:-
Some General Guidelines
1. All the universities may follow a 6-day week pattern to
compensate the loss for the remaining session of 2019-
20 and the next session 2020-21.
2. In view of the importance of “social distancing”,
universities may take necessary steps to ensure thatthe
students are given exposure to laboratoryassignments/
practical experiments through virtual laboratories,
sharing of the recorded visuals of laboratory work and
digital resources available for the purpose. The link
provided by Ministry of Human Resource Development
for virtual laboratories to facilitate the students of
science/ engineering/ technology streams may also be
suitable for such purposes.
3. Every institute should develop virtual classroom and
video conferencing facility and all teaching staff should
be trained with the use of the technology.
4. The universities should prepare e-content/e-lab
experiments and upload the same on their websites.
5. The universities should strengthen the mechanism of
mentor-mentee counseling through a dedicated portal
on university website to impart timely guidance and
counseling to the students. Besides, the faculty advisor
and supervisor assigned to each student should
maintain regular communication with the students. 10
6. The universities may devise a preformed to record the
Travel/ Stay history of the staff and students for the
period when they were away from the university due to
lockdown, so that necessary precautions may be taken
in specific cases, if required. In addition, theuniversities
will strictly comply with all precautions and preventive
measures to curb the spread of COVID -19.
7. In order to overcome such challenges in future, the
faculty should be adequately trained for the use of ICT
and online teaching tools, so that they complete about

25% of the syllabus through online teaching and 75%
syllabus through face to face teaching.
8. In view of the presentscenarioandfutureuncertainties:
A. the universities may adopt and implement these
Guidelines in a transparent manner by making
alterations/ additions/ modifications/ amendments to
deal with particular situation(s) in the best interest of
students, educational institution and the entire
education system,
B. if the university faces difficulty in making admissionsas
per the existing policy, itmay adoptalternativemodesof
admission process, if otherwise legally tenable, and
C. In case of educational institutions located at places
where the Government (Centre/ State) have imposed
restrictions on gathering of public, the institutions may
plan accordingly. In any case, the above
recommendations shall notcauseanyrestrictionsonthe
guidelines/directions issued by the appropriate
Government/competent authority.
3. UGC GUIDELINES ON EXAMINATIONS
1. Maintaining the sanctity of academic expectations and
integrity of examination process, the universities may
adopt alternative and simplified modes and methods of
examinations to complete the process in shorter period
of time in compliance with CBCS requirements as
prescribed by UGC from time to time. Thesemayinclude
MCQ/ OMR based examinations, Open Book
Examination, Open Choices, assignment/ presentation-
based assessments etc.
2. The universities may adopt efficient and innovative
modes of examinations by reducing the time from 3
hours to 2 hours assigned to each examination, if need
arises but without compromising the quality,sothatthe
process may be completed in multiple shifts and, at the
same time, sanctity to evaluate the performance of a
student is also maintained.
3. The universities may conduct Terminal / Intermediate
Semester / Year examinations in offline / online mode,
as per their Ordinances/ Rules and Regulations,Scheme
of Examinations, observing the guidelines of “social
distancing” and keeping in view the support system
available with them and ensuring fair opportunity to all
students.
4. Terminal semester / year examinations for PG/ UG
courses/ programmes maybeconductedbyuniversities
as suggested in the academic calendar keeping in mind
the protocols of “social distancing”.
5. For intermediate semester/year students, the
universities may conduct examinations, after making a
comprehensive assessment of their level of
preparedness, residential status of the students, status
of COVID-19 pandemic spread in different region/state
and other factors. In case the situation does not appear
to be normal in view of COVID-19, in order to maintain
“social distancing”, safety and health of the students,
grading of the students could be composite of 50%
marks on the basis of the pattern of internal 6
evaluation adopted by the universities and the
remaining 50% marks can be awarded on the basis of
performance in previous semester only (if available).
The internal evaluation can be continuous evaluation,
prelims, mid-semester, internal assignments or
whatever name is given for student progression. In the
situations where previous semester or previous year
marks are not available, particularly in the first year of
annual pattern of examinations, 100% evaluation may
be done on the basis of internal evaluation. If the
student wishes to improve the grades, he/she may
appear in special exams for such subjects during next
semester. This provision for intermediate semester
examinations is only for the current academic session
(2019-20) in view of COVID-19 pandemic, while
maintaining safety and healthofall thestakeholdersand
sanctity and quality of examinations.
6. In addition to the above, following steps are required to
be taken: i. The scheme of “Carry forward” (for the
subjects in which the student has failed) will be allowed
for the current academic year in the universities and
every student will be promoted to next semester/year.
However, such students may clear the examination for
the course in which he/ shehasfailed/remainedabsent,
whenever the examination is held next. ii. The students
may be allowed to improve their grades by offering one
additional opportunity to appear for the current
semester course(s) in succeeding semesters/ years or
through supplementary examinations.
7. The modalities for examination and other related
activities be applied uniformly across all courses in a
university.
8. The students should be informed well in advance (at
least one week) about the conduct of examinations and
other related activities.
9. Regarding the requirement of minimum percentage of
attendance for the students/ research scholars, the
period of lockdown may be treated as ‘deemed to be
attended’ by all the students/ research scholars.
10. The universities may adopt appropriate strategies to
facilitate the UG/ PG students pursuing Projects/
Dissertations, in view of the prevailing circumstances.
The universities may consider to assign review-based/
secondary data-based projects 7 or software-driven
projects, instead of laboratory-based experiments or
field/ survey-based assignments to these students.
11. The universities mayconductthepractical examinations
and Viva-Voce Examinations through Skype or other
meeting apps, and in case of intermediatesemesters,the
practical examinations may be conducted during the
ensuing semesters.
12. The universities may conduct the Ph.D. and M. Phil. Viva
-Voce Examinations through Video Conferencing using
Google, Skype, Microsoft Technologies or any other
reliable and mutually convenient technology, subject to
the approval of the concerned statutory authority of the
university, in compliance of Clause 9.6 to 9.9 of the UGC
Regulations, 2016 regarding award of M. Phil / Ph.D.
Degree. While conducting the Viva-Voce Examination
through Video Conferencing using electronic means, it
may be ensured that it will be open to be attended by
members of the Research Advisory Committee, all
faculty members of the department, research scholars
and other interested experts/ researchers, besides the
Research Supervisor and Expert(s)/Examiner(s), as
applicable. It is also imperative on the part of the
university to maintain due record of the same,including
the report signed by Expert(s)/ Examiner(s) appointed
for conducting the same.
13. The M.Phil. or Ph.D. students, whose maximum period
for submission of M. Phil./ Ph.D. Dissertation/ Thesis
prescribed under relevant rules/ regulations/

ordinances of the concerned universities is expired/
expiring during the Corona pandemic period, may be
allowed to submit their Dissertation/ Thesis, including
completion of pending formalities, within six months
from the date of expiry of regularprescribedperiod.The
extension of six months may also be considered for
those students who are yet to submittheirDissertation/
Thesis.
14. Every University shall establish a cell for handling
student grievances related to examinations and
academic activities during COVID-19 pandemic and
notify effectively to the students.
15. The UGC will establish a Help Line for monitoring
student grievances related to examinations and
academic activities during COVID-19 pandemic.
4. TRANSFORMATION TO DIDITAL TECHNOLOGY
4.1. Accelerated Adoption of Digital Technologies:
The education sector has been slow to adopt digital
technologies for long. Today, with the pandemic, every
alternative to run the physical classroom hasbeenshut. This
is an opportunity for the educationists to embrace the new
model and make it work. Cloud, data bandwidth, storage
technologies, compute power, analytics, data management
methods etc. are all working in tandem to create an
unprecedented opportunity in the digital world to dream of
things that could not have been possible few years back.
They all have come of age. It is time for our educationsystem
to leverage the same and fight the pandemic.
4.2. Teacher centric to Student Centric:
We have always been a teacher-centric (mostly one-way) in
our approach to education. This is the time for all of us to
move from this teacher-centric physical classroom to
student-centric digital glass-rooms. It is an opportunity for
us to nurture and develop self-learning behavior in the
students. This will broaden their thinking, stimulate
curiosity and cultivate a higher level of interest.
4.3. Physically Distanced, but Digitally a Community:
A community approach in the digital world will help
students connect for learning ‘anywhere, anytime’.
Communities will offer a relevant collaborative space for
students, where they can be keptengagedandtheirpotential
can be developed. As a beginning, let us put three digital
communities for every student.
A. School or College as a community
B. ii) Classroom as a community
C. Every Subject or Topic as a community.
This will initiate active engagement within students and
across educationists and students.
4.4. Virtual, but engagement is Real:
Keeping students interested and engaged in a digital space
comes with its own set of challenges. One way is to ensure
regular digital assignments, contests, debates etc. to
stimulate student interest and learn the key practical
applications of the subject.
4.5. Validation for the virtual world:
It is also important to have digital assessments on a regular
basis, to allow evaluation of learning effectiveness. This
helps the educationists to spot and initiate appropriate
additional interventions where needed to specific and
needed students. The educationists can take the entire
students in the digital glass-room together as though they
are in a physical classroom.
4.6. Technology and Content are enablers, but key is
the Pedagogy:
Access to technology is not a challenge. The content to teach
is also available. Educationists have access to the content as
they have been teaching in the physical classroom. The
missing link is the pedagogy. The pedagogies for a physical
classroom may not be readily suitable for the digital glass-
room. A whole new set of methods and practices are
emerging. They are more interactive, gamified, visually rich,
personalized and hands-on. This takes the learning
effectiveness to a completely new level.
4.7. Democratization of Education:
In this hour of crisis, it is important for us to ensure that the
digital technologies are not available just to elite few. It has
to be democratized and be available to every citizen without
discrimination. The government runsa verylargepartofour
education system. They must adopt and make the platform,
content and methods available to every school. Few state
governments must take the lead in demonstrating adoption
of digital glass-room to the rest of the country.
Conclusion
It is conclude that the situation occur during pandemic of
COVID-19 made the huge changes among the education
system. The various committees came together to make
changes in the UGC guidelines among the exmainations,
academic calendars ,and admissionprocesses.Inthenewera
of digital world the education system got transformed into
virtual classrooms and took advantages of digital
technologies.
