IIT Bombay the first institution to scrap physical lectures for 2020-21

26-Jun-2020

With the rise in Covid-19 cases across India, IIT Bombay has become the first major institutions in India to scrap all physical or lectures for this year and carry out the semester for UG and OG courses starting in July in a completely online mode.

The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Director said that the decision had been taken after a “long deliberation” so that there would be “no compromise on the safety and well-being of the students".

Appeal to donate money for underprivileged IIT Bombay students

Since online classes won’t be accessible to students who are not very economically privileged, the director also made an appeal to everyone to extend their support “to help these bright young minds to continue their learning without any further hindrances or delays”.
