How did your institution cope up with the COVID19 situation?

“A swift action taken by our faculties to adopt methods of online education helped our students extensively”

Our admissions have increased this year, we have started with 2 new campuses and managed to get admissions as well. This was possible because we quickly adapted to the situation and gave the students what they had asked for. Our faculties immediately set up a system where they could pre-record lectures and share them with students for continued education. The university was also very proactive. The final year students got their examination results and marksheets well in time & also were able to get relevant jobs even during the pandemic.
