Various institutes have started online teaching so that the students' studies can continue. It is beneficial in order to complete their syllabus but when we talk about enhancing students learning, it is not as much beneficial. It has a lot of demerits.

Online education is being used everywhere to ensure academics aren't stopped. But it does not guarantee the quality of education. For example some schools are sending videos through Google classroom, it is only the duty of the students to view no one else knows. Similarly, in the meeting apps like Zoom or Cisco, students can just enter the meeting room, they have facilities to disable audio and video. Even if you are playing a game in same mobile or even make a call to other friends, teacher on the other side will be keeping on teaching. Enthusiastic and brilliant students are going to listen and rise doubts if any, but we will just le

The concept of teaching online is helping students during this epidemic. But if this continues even after the epidemic there may be a lot of demerits which will affect the life of students: 1. They cannot socially interact with other people. 2. Education in online mode doesn't have any effect on students. 3. They cannot know their strengths and weaknesses. 4. They may become fearful to live in this society as they have less social interaction. 5. With the reason of online classes, students may stick only to their smartphones which may affect their mental ability. Their learning skills and their productivity may decrease.

Research has clearly proven in the past that home-learning affects the student's productivity, social life, and their learning outcome. In my opinion, online teaching will never be able to completely replace the brick and mortar based learning environment because of so many inherent merits.

C) Unprecedented growth in Short-Term Certification Courses: This COVID-19 led global recession & liquidity crunch in the economy will lead to spike in the unemployment rate. It is expected that this time will be duly used by people to up-skill themselves on various functional & behavioural skills, hence signing up for Short-term Certification Courses.

Covid 19 has forced institutions to follow education online. The small kids especially with such an early exposure to video call and teaching will make them inefficient when they will talk face to Face. A school is much more than teacher taking classes. Children play with each other, they fight, they learn important soft skills which will help them in their lives. Online courses cannot provide that experience.

Apart from all the consequences, whether good or bad, shouldn't we also think about some back up plans for smooth functioning of every sector in case any such pandemic strikes any country?

It has provided us a great opportunity where we can utilize our maximum time in self-introspection and improving ourselves where we lack. We have got plenty of time to improve and enhance our skills and have the best of it. It is also the best time to take ourselves to next level. It totally depends on us whether we use this opportunity to make the most of ourselves our just waste the time and repenting later.

Keeping in mind that the digital shift in India is relatively new, don't you people think that Indian colleges are not equipped enough to handle the change and transit to online means? Digital teaching seems apparent at school level but if we talk about higher education, I don't think it could be that engaging.

Despite the ongoing fiasco, the pandemic has given us an opportunity to learn and try out new things, which we would not have done otherwise. It has changed the education system and displayed the importance of technology. Students have been attending online coaching, taking up courses and even internships. It has proved that technology can be a savior during times like this. It has pushed us to our limits in a positive way.

There are many positive outcomes of the crisis. I think that no one's learning is distributed majorly as much resources are digitally available since some years and also I think majority of the institutes have started imparting online education which is very good step in the Indian history. Even there is good response of online internships these days. But there are some problems with technical education and its internships. But then also one can learn enough through available resources right now. Online Internal Exams are also taken by many institutes and it can be implemented further also during normal days.

I think that there is also possibility of Online External Exams due to current situation. Ofcourse, the pandemic has forced us to change for the better so that in future majority of our things cannot be disturbed in terms of learning and education. It has also forced us to become more creative and also suggested to use much of technology and make things even better and smooth. Thus I think the education sector of India (students and educators) have turned crisis into good opportunity.

The biggest advantage and challenge this situation has thrown at the students is to make use of the abundant time at hand for improving existing skill sets and learning new ones. I am sure the student community is taking this seriously and will emerge stronger with better skills than they held previously. But then ultimately it's the urge to learn something new, something worthwhile, something that will help in getting on with life in a better manner that will count eventually. Those students who instead of frittering away time, browse the internet for learning will definitely stand a better chance of getting good placements in future.

No doubt these positive sides cannot in any way remedy the loss we are facing but it's helping us in changing our habits in a better.

The covid-19 pandemic has affected the educational system worldwide, leading to the near total closures of schools, colleges and universities. School closures in response to COVID-19 has shed light on various social and economic issues, including student debt, digital learning, food insecurity and homelessness as well as access to childcare, health care, housing, internet and disability services. In response to the closures, UNESCO recommended to use distance learning programmes and open educational applications and platforms that schools and teachers can use to reach the learners remotely and limit the disruption of education.

If we talk about examinations which are not conducted this year as declared by UGC. I think some students would be happy as now they don't have to appear for exams but its bad luck for me, as I am ready for the exams. I want to get good marks than so that I can make my aggregate percentage good. Hopefully, the university will give me enough marks to make me happy.

I am from DAV College, Jalandhar whose placements are affected by this situation. Every month, atleast 7 to 10 companies approach DAV. It's a big loss for our college students as they are missing those jobs. Most of the students of DAV College had jobs in their hands before completing graduation. They were supposed to just join the job after completing their graduation.

As we look from placement point of view, many jobs and offers are kept on hold and some have been assigned work from home. However, for those who are yet to join, it is a really good opportunity for them to develop their skills in the required field of work. Students have been seen to enroll themselves in various courses that help them in the placement process and also fulfills their job descriptions. So making use of this golden hour in very important.

When we SEE the current situation, instead of loosing hope and seeing the economy fall there have been various ways students and people have tried to be more innovative and find various ways to solve various problems in the society. There is a quote which says A lazy man can do the job more efficiently in the fastest way possible, which I can relate too in a time like this when the brain is idle, people tend to work more on the positive aspects and Try to work on things that the society lags or requires. And the reason for that is what the Indian education and also the internet has provided.

First thing I noticed in this situation is this that college/schools are very helpful in education. An online class is not worthy as compared to brick class. This Covid pandemic situation has put the biggest impact on education. From my point of view, many colleges fail to tackle this situation. They arrange some meetings online which is just a waste of time as there is no proper interaction between teachers and students and also, it is a burden for those students who don't have good internet connection.
