While admission cycles are out of bounds, yet people are enrolling in online courses for upgrading their skills. There is an exponential growth in MOOC/online course enrollments. Overall, everyone has learnt newer ways of handling things, become used to technological alternatives and have learnt who to navigate ship when it's going through a stormy patch in deep blue. Needless to say, people are apprehensive, anxiety struck yet hope is keeping them moving forward.

It is well said that real changes take place in a deep crisis. This pandemic has definitely brought a revolutionary change in our economy, affecting the livelihood of the people along with their businesses. The education sector too has been affected the most. But, we as a civilization has dealt with various calamities including pandemics, wars, natural disasters, and have always found a way to come out of these situations victoriously. I believe the only way to deal with this type of situation is perseverance and resilience.

It will always have hope and will constantly evolve by bringing solutions and innovations in the sector resulting in new job positions and platforms. Our road map at JD Institute has always followed the concept of Never Give-up. We have taken this situation positively and have adopted a three-fold initiative for learning based on the elements of engagement, encouragement, and empowerment. Along with the regular online classes and co-curricular activities, this pandemic has given much required time for our students and faculty members alike to observe their learning, to think critically, be a problem-solver, creative thinker, and to communicate well. Indeed, the pandemic has woken all of us up to the new challenges of teaching and has taught us to over-come it efficiently.

Hello Friends, Yes, this COVID19 pandemic has brought great disruption in our lives. Lives of students are shattered beyond belief. But then such disruptions are indeed necessary to bring change in our lives, change for the better that is. But is that the whole truth?

Gaming is perhaps the biggest attraction for these youngsters. Once hooked onto it, very difficult to shake it off. This not only takes away required concentration required for studies online but results perhaps in having no time or very short time for these must do activities. Is there no solution? Are these students going to lose out when things become normal? Will they be misfit in future? Parents / guardians hence need to have a discreet surveillance on the activities of their wards. Having faith is okay but it should never be blind faith. They must keep querying their wards about progress in studies and virtual classes that almost all schools and colleges are organising for the benefit of students. I am sure, number of such students would be minimal but it's definitely it's there and I would urge all parents or guardians to be observant and take corrective action where ever required.

A global crisis which has brought world to a halt. Humans have got ample amount of time to re-think on the current practices. Educational system is more relied on physical classroom sessions. No doubt, most sessions can be moved to digital platforms. Reducing such sessions will definitely have positive ripple effects. A good time to think on the way forward!

Covid 19 has come with a revolutionary phase in the technological world. Now students do not have to depend only on the school/college studies, they are learning from the online sources. Students are now developing their other hobbies and are learning through internet in their own area of interest. Covid 19 has come with a better change in the higher studies.

One of the positive outcomes that I see of lockdown is that it has slowed us down and made us think of the outcomes of the routine learning process. So many of my classmates have joined professional platforms like LinkedIn and have resorted to building a strong network. The lockdown has also worked wonders for learning practical and actionable skills by providing enough time.

According to me, the post lockdown or COVID-19 will be a revolutionary phase in the higher education. As digitalization has given a foot print in the education field in a revolutionary way. There will more books, there will be more notebooks but not is physical form but in electronics form. Students will love technology. The era of traditional system is coming to an end.

I think I have mixed thoughts about same. Today, we are using technology and infrastructure to minimize the gap between the teachers and students and allowing them to indulge themselves in academic activities but the discipline and sincerity is missing among the students which was there in the classroom to some extent. Also, the digital platform is not accessible by many of them living in remote areas and coming from poor backgrounds. To tackle this, 12 respective channels are expected to broadcast study materials and videos for classes 1 to 12 in coming days, which I think is a great initiative as per the reports from the education mi

I feel this is an opportunity for students and even professionals to enhance their skills. It can also be viewed as a relaxation period for those who have high pressure at work. Personally, what I have been doing is I am completing as much certifications as I can during this period and my aim is to learn as much as I can from them. Because I feel that next time when I go for a job interview the panel may ask me what I have been doing during the lockdown. I am also working as a mentor for Dweebs and Dogs which is a no nonsense platform dedicated to provide free advice to people in areas of mental health career development hobbies etc. I

It provides ample opportunities to the students to learn and pursue the skills or course online which will help them to excel their growth. Also, various reputed institutions provide various online courses either free or with reasonable fees. Although, COVID 19 has created a time of difficulty but you have to bring yourself to the positive way of growth and derive maximum benefits and give your best to utilise this precious time to extract fruits in the future.

Placements for the contemporary academic year are often over, however there can be a postponement in the relaxation of the students getting appropriate opportunities. The larger problem is the effect of COVID-19 on the economy and its further impact on employment opportunities. There may be a put off on boarding the students who've been recruited. The crisis has already caused a delay in the behavior of examinations and the announcement of results. This may similarly push the admissions cycle accordingly.

Everything has a good and bad. Covid 19 has impacted our education system but the sarcastic part is this that the system is still willing to take exams and not to focus over the studies of the student's, which directly shows our education system is more indulged in creating machines rather than innovating new ideas among the students.

Every problems come up with opportunities which are needed to be identified and utilised optimally. COVID19 pandemic has made all to think in a different way, to explore ourselves within. Its impact on education is negative as well as positive both depending on the way one judge this! Negative impact is that all educational organizations / institutions shut down and exams got postponed or delayed; but nothing got stopped totally. Problem is being faced by whole world but this problem has been taken as a challenge too by effective ones as we all know survival of the best in this scenario. Though negative impacts are here but it cannot over cross positive ones. Due to this pandemic educational system has taken a new turn; got evolved in an unimagined way. Online classes have started, Virtual internships got provided to students as wfh by renouned companies, online examinations also got conducted by many management institutes including mine too. Admissions got conducted online for the first time which None expected ever earlier. So problems going to come always suddenly without preinforming but rather than giving up it needs to be dealt in an effective and efficient way I believe. Every institutes almost tried providing online courses, got technologically advanced and utilized this opportunity perfectly to stop wasting time and deforming careers of students. Overviewing these points, according to my opinion this COVID19 pandemic has been used as an opportunity rather than being dealt as a problem and giving up! Lastly, placements are affected by this but it can be said that when whole world's GDP has been the worst affected by this then placements can be overlooked for a moment in this special case.

COVID 19 is one off situation which many generations have seen at same time. Such things have not happened before in the world. Let us not draw any common conclusions for the future. One of the situations available under uncertainty was online classes from primary to higher education. Majority of the students have got an opportunity to learn new things, which is preparing younger generation for future prospects. The ideas of PUC students is definitely going to change when once they join professional courses. As many students express, definitely, only online classes will help better learning.

I am not completely in favour with this point but to some extent, it is good. 1- We are realizing the value of education. 2- We are getting to understand the difference between business of education and education of business. 3- We are able to realize that we don't need classes and exams to cram subjects and topics. 4- I realized that quiet work is more important, having skills matters than a ton of degrees. There may be so many pros and cons but I am willing to read some good points about this amazing discussion programme by Shiksha.

If we want positivity then we will get it and if negativity then ofcourse we will get that. We have to use this time for our own welfare. No one will motivate you in this time. I don't think you will need motivation for doing something for your own good. This Pandemic gives us the chance of reestablishment of humanity. Nothing is bigger than humanity and nothing could be smaller than a human. You will do something for your own welfare. Otherwise, after lockdown you will have nothing but regret. It is your choice!

Due to Covid 19, my JEE Mains exam has been delayed which is troubling me a lot. I passed 12th last year. Now, it's time to enter a college but I just have to wait and wait. I just want it over now. I want to conclude my 3-year long journey.

Everyone is well known that in today's scenario it is not possible to take or give offline classes and so, most of the institutions and individuals are using online platform. I think there is no need to make comparison between online and offline classes as we have been forced to face the current situation. We are using online platform not by choice but it is the only way to continue work in the current scenario. So instead of naming comparison, we should think about how to make the online classes more interactive, interesting and simple enough to make everyone feel that they are as easy and useful as offline classes.
