DAV College has initiated online classes for the students under given circumstances where extension of offline classes seems a likely possibility for the next few months. The evening online classes have been started to facilitate students, who are not able to attend the classes in the day time.

“Due to the pandemic, we are all trapped online on the internet, smartphone, laptop and tablets. We have been imparting students not only with online classes but also with online practicals and webinars. Many college students could not attend classes during the day and the matter was brought to us. Now the college has made special arrangements for evenings and weekend classes for them. Currently, these classes have been started by the Department of Computer and Journalism,” informed Principal Dr Rajesh Kumar.

The college has also set up digital library to make students access books and learning material online. “The college has also recorded lectures of its professors and made them available online. Most of the students can go to the YouTube channel of the college and watch videos of the related subject as per their convenience,” he added.

Prof Vikram Sharma, head of computer department of the college, said that many students pursuing diploma courses were working professionally. “In such a situation, it is not possible for the students to attend their classes regularly. We have started evening classes exclusively for such students. Its main objective is to complete the syllabus well on time,” he said. He added that students who miss class during the day time either due to network problem or due to some other issues, are now attending weekend classes.
