Shoolini University switched over to online classes within just a few days of the announcement of lockdown in the wake of coronavirus outbreak. There was no disruption in studies and students resumed regular lessons as per a fixed timetable. Impressed with the University endeavour, the grateful parents of students shared their views and suggestions. They were all unanimous that this initiative would go a long way in keeping the students constructively occupied and help save the semester.
Mrs Sonal Gupta, mother of Shriya Mahajan, a student of BBA (FY) expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the University management for starting online classes for their students without any delay. Classes being conducted by the esteemed faculty members are effective and up to the mark. It does not feel that my daughter is missing out on her formal education, she added.
Mr Pabitra Kumar Bishoyi, father of Kalpesh, a student of MSc Biotech (second semester), said online classes enabled students to remain in touch with academics. We also heard about personality development classes and webinars being hosted online. This is an awesome initiative, he added.
Mr Subho Bhaumik, father of Anukalpa Bhaumik, a student of BSc Physics (second semester), said, Online classes are a great help in keeping students busy in academics. They will compensate the loss in studies on the campus, so that students do not lose out on anything during the coronavirus outbreak.

Mr Madan Mohan Shandil, father of Haren Shandil, first year student of Hospitality and Hotel Management, said, Mujhe khushi hai ki aisi paristhitiyon mein bhi University aur teachers bacchon ke future ke bare mein soch rahe hain.

(I am happy to see that the University and its teachers are thinking about the future of students even during these difficult times. The webinars too would greatly help in increasing the knowledge of students.)
Marvellous job being done by the University. The management should also consider taking exams online, as the current problem is likely to continue for months, said Mr Shailesh Pathak, father of Shwetamber Pathak, CSE eighth semester.
