Abstract
Covid 19 Pandemic has made all the educational schools across the world adapt teaching online. Courses are conducted online, examinations are conducted online, and assignments are submitted through email. For countries like India, this is a good opportunity to strengthen internet connectivity across rural India. Every village and town in India should be digitally connected for better interaction between the students and teachers. Some of the students are quick to adapt to this system and some take a little longer time to acquaint with this system. India should establish a good infrastructure for online education.
When any new education system is introduced in any country, it will take some time for the students to adapt to the system. The greatest advantage of such a system is education can become global. In India at present institutes like IITs, IISc and NITs can globalize online education while universities, initially, can nationalize online education. Fundamental structural changes should be made in the curriculum/syllabi and academic programs should be popularized to attract students across the countries. Skill development should be part of the curriculum in engineering and science degree programs. It may not be possible to deliver laboratory courses through the online course but, in this article, I have provided a possible solution to this. This will create future entrepreneurs. Thus this article discuss about the alternative way of teaching in higher education during pandemic situation.
