The Coronavirus has made a worldwide impact in the last few weeks and continues to strike most of the divisions, with education and learning being the vastly affected ones. Students across the world are losing their precious time in education during the imposed lockdown due to fears of Coronavirus pandemic. The crisis has lead Universities, Colleges, and Schools to shut down and the understudies to stay back at home.
Due to the Covid-19 lockdown, the education system has changed drastically with the distinct growth in online learning, whereby pedagogy is undertaken remotely on online platforms.
Since lockdown has been imposed the teaching has been taken completely online by the Delhi University’s professors. The teachers had been conducting daily online lectures to complete the course syllabus.
The commencement of exams has been the biggest question for the teachers, students as well as for the University.
