With the pandemic having disrupted conventional classroom learning, students across the globe have been forced to adapt to academic learning through virtual modes. However, stability and innovation in learning are key challenges that are to be mitigated whilst in the virtual mode. In this regard, CMR University Bengaluru apart from adapting relatively quickly to the virtual mode of imparting instruction has also incorporated unique virtual learning modules for students to keep classroom learning going sans physical classrooms.

A key feature of CMR University’s virtual learning modules is the fact that students get to check out interesting classroom activities that enhance the overall learning experience.

The university has also blended its academic curriculum (of all disciplines) with elements of Design Thinking and Experiential Learning. These ensure that significant emphasis is laid on delivering practical knowledge (hands-on) to students such that learning (even in the virtual mode) becomes interesting and intuitive.

CMR University, which has been established as a private university in Bengaluru under Act 45 of 2013, offers a plethora of UGC recognized Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and Doctoral programs. Check: CMR University Courses & Fees

In addition to setting benchmarks in the education industry by delivering quality education, the university lays equal emphasis on improving the learning experience of the students in a wider scope. 

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with colleges/universities across the country being closed, CMR University in a bid to ensure continuity in learning has continuously been ensuring connectivity with students through workshops, seminars, and training sessions. To complement this, industry connections, clubs, and expert discussions have also been migrated to the virtual platform to ensure consistency in academics thereby resulting in all-around development of students even during uncertain times.
