When it comes to your question, it is not very clear what you are asking about.

If you are requesting points on the topic 'Online Learning and Higher Education Scenario in India' to discuss in a group discussion, then I share some points below.

  • Advantages of online learning:

More Flexible and Convenient - You don't have to waste your time traveling to your institution, instead all you need is a smartphone / laptop and a stable internet connection. In addition, the Ed-tech platform offers courses that are flexible and can be adjusted according to the convenience of the students.

The use of virtual tools such as graphics / videos makes the students better understand the concepts.

Reduced costs: Most of the reading or reference materials are accessible online, which helps us save a lot of money on the purchase of the physical version. Plus, the online study allows you to stay at home, so you don't have to spend on hostel and transportation fees.

Offers a wide selection of programs: In addition to your curriculum, you can enroll in courses of your interest, as online platforms offer courses in various fields.

Cons of online learning

Lack of social interaction: Students do not have the opportunity to interact face to face with their peers, which is very necessary to maintain a healthy social life.

Not easily accessible in remote areas: many people, especially in villages, do not have access to required devices and internet connection, making it difficult for students to attend classes.

Excessive Screen Time Exposure - This can adversely affect students. Not only is it good for your health, it also creates a sense of isolation.

HIGHER EDUCATION:

India's higher education system is the third largest in the world, after the United States and China.

Students are assessed in terms of basic theoretical knowledge that help students to learn in depth about the subject.

Furthermore, Indian universities have started to go global by participating in student exchange programs, where foreign students have the opportunity to study in India and Indian students have the opportunity to access international educational systems.

It also incorporates new teaching methods, in the form of smart classrooms, educational tours, visits to laboratories, workshops, etc., which have proven to be more efficient for students.

There are also many new low-quality institutes emerging across the country, which is not good for higher education.

Brands are given more importance. Many colleges still place primary importance on the scores you get on their Board exams over entrance exam scores, resulting in many deserving students not getting the desired courses at the college they want to study and instead they have to opt for the less preferred ones.

If your question referred to something else, I ask you to ask the question again in more detail.

I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
