The higher education department on Wednesday asked registrars of public universities and principals of degree colleges coming under this department to start online teaching from July 13 for students of intermediary year or semester.
Higher education department secretary Saswat Mishra in an official letter said these higher educational institutions (HEIs) should issue books from their library. “Every HEIs must run a help-line through their teachers to frequently contact students telephonically to counsel them in these difficult times and also meet their queries regarding various matters such as online teaching, examinations, projects, assignments and scholarships,” he added.
