    Talking about placements, every student is disturbed because till this time many students have got placed in some good MNCs but what to say. All the drives are currently on hold. Some students got selected in the internship but they are also not able to go now because of this situation. Although this time can be utilized for learning new concepts, making our foundation strong and making our basics clear so that when the college reopens, we can sit in drives with great zeal and enthusiasm.

    The pandemic has taught us that it was not our busy schedule that made us refrain from various little things that bring contentment in our life like finding time for ourselves, to meditate, talk with family members, learn a new skill and so on, but it is our mindset that failed to push us forward. I hope this lesson is taken well by all the learners through their own introspection and would have an impact on their post-pandemic life as a learner.

    There are many good sides to this pandemic when it comes to the Indian higher education, the world as we SEE today is getting more advanced in technology, classes are becoming smart with the addition of various smart highly advanced technologies. This time has made mandatory for the students to connect with their studies even at a time like this with online courses and also various programs induced by colleges which connects students to various industries and their online workshops done virtually. Therefore, there is not a big breach when it comes to loss in education as far as students are concerned. Parents get to spend quality time

    Colleges have started taking admission through online mode. Students can give interviews through different video calling platforms, and the examination is also being conducted online in a proctored manner so that it happens fairly. All the colleges have extended their admission dates so that no student suffers due to this problem. Now classes are been held online, though they are not much interesting but it's the only way to complete the syllabus.

    This situation has given rise to many problems, but an individual can utilize this time for his upliftment, preparation, new learning, and several other kinds of stuff that he was unable to complete in normal life. Yes it has changed us to better because in initial days I was very happy that I got holidays, now I can complete my web series, I can watch new movies, but after some time it all started getting boring and at point of time I realized that why not to utilize this holiday to learn new stuff, to become more tech-savvy. So there is a positive impact of the situation too.

    Due to this pandemic, we now understand the importance of classroom teaching. Although teachers are doing their best in online classes but it's not same as the classroom teaching. But now, we are exploring ourselves by seeing how creatively can we work and how we can manage different things like cooking, exercise, painting, music, etc.

    No doubt that this pandemic disease has changed our lives, but there are two sides to this. One side is that we all are disturbed due to this. I am a student and I feel the pain most because this is the time when our placement season should have been at peak and due to this, all the placement drives are on hold, also our syllabus is not fully completed thus a great loss, and because of this we are also not able to enjoy these holidays. Apart from this, I feel very bored sitting inside a room, just studying and playing some games and it is becoming hectic now. However, it also teaches us how to live a disciplined and hygienic life.

    Some good outcome is that we can develop our skill related to online things. We can learn about the things that would be beneficial in future because now everywhere work is happening online. So, we can develop word and PowerPoint skills.

    Positive outcomes are: here we can develop our skills and work on our hobbies as we have time like it never was. We always complained about time and now we have it. In addition, we can spend quality time with our dear family members which we barely got before because of our different work schedules. We are learning the value of life, enjoying a bit more and appreciating little things.

    The new, total technology mediated education will be termed as Education 4.0 after the primary three waves of education systems is evolved. The mainstream institutions are willing to maneuver to online, and there a break of habits changing to enable Education 4.0. Of course, even within the post COVID 19 era, offline or conventional education models won't become obsolete. They're going to survive. However, blended learning (a combination of classroom and online modes) are going to be the norm. Institutions and teachers will blend the two judiciously in keeping with the context and also the content.

    One of the shining lights ensuing from the crisis has been the open access of databases, books, and alternative on-line learning formats. The educational community has rallied along to unleash data that for the longest has been hidden behind paywalls. My hope is that this act of fine favor can continue post-coronavirus. The extent of access has surged and leveled the taking part in field for several teachers. Time can tell however long this can last.

    Student Perspective -
    The college students that I even have spoken with seem optimistic concerning the longer term. Several were unsuccessful with the choice to depart their dorms and therefore the potential cancelation of their summer plans to travel abroad. Our establishment secure to reimburse students for varied fees, that raised the spirits of the many. This can be not the case at each establishment, though, as several area unit presently petitioning and fighting for compensation. I used to be inspired that our students saw this as a chance to serve their native Holy places and bolster flailing ministries in their hometowns. The co

    First, on-line categories became the quality format for all instruction, not simply distance learning. Second, on-campus categories are hurried to a web format either through Zoom or associate LMS conference operate. This has resulted in poor pedagogy that the establishments, faculty, associated students accepted as an emergency result. Several professors and students aren't at home with a web format, however were forced to shift in a very matter of weeks or perhaps days. Third, students and directors have given grace throughout this unprecedented season, however if the shift continues into the Summer and Fall then students and directo

    According to my point of view, one of the positive outcomes of the crisis is that everything goes online which is actually a great step towards the future. Through this crisis, one positive impact is seen in the field of education right now and which is actually a great thing. But on the other hand, if I talk about the efficiency in terms of the education perspective, so at the earlier stages, online teaching is less efficient as compared to the old tradition (offline teaching). Both teachers and students are facing lots of difficulties because for the teachers and also for students it is actually a different ball game altogether. On t

    Every incident has a dark and bright side, so does the pandemic Covid 19. It is an eye opener for the world and its people.

    Aside from the disruption faced because of the novel coronavirus, education in our developing world has experienced some major changes. Yet, even within the face of rapid innovation, we have yet to shift the way within which we impart education. Approaches like integrated learning and experiential learning, with greater implementation of technology, will power the long run education in schools.

    I think COVID-19 has played an important role in Indian Education system. According to me, online studying is a good thing for the students. In medical stream, they have new opportunities to learn new things, it opens a lot of research activities too. Virtual labs also play an important role to get practical knowledge of things. As lots of schools have bus facilities and they create pollution too. So according to me, 3 days study from home and 3 days study in the school/college is the best way to reduce pollution too and also, it will maintain social distancing. Nowadays, we are completely dependent on the technologies, so we have to u

    This pandemic has surely been good for some creative people. I come across many posts on social media about different arts, dishes, and what not. These were the hidden talents which needed time to come up front. Now we have all the time and people are definitely using it for something great. The education system has drastically changed to digital media sessions and universities are experiencing high attendance rates. Why not? Every student always wanted classes to be in the comfort zones. The internships and jobs have become work from home and that is making high productivity. All we need to know is this time is very crucial both in te

    We need to check again how education may be effective for students' overall cognitive and non-cognitive development with e-learning. It seems impossible, for real learning occurs only if the scholars investigate an idea, find information, discuss it and make it in their own way. The present education system and also, the dynamics of a student-teacher relationship are likely to vary within the near future. With the way that countries are closing their borders across the world, Indians in foreign lands are returning to their homeland, and rural migrants returning to their villages, there could be a necessity to formulate the policies for
