Abstract

In this article, the authors have discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic created challenges for the higher education segment in India. In actuality, the challenges are for both school education and higher education, but this study focuses on higher education. The study discusses the role of technology in COVID-19 and how technology helped maintain the tempo and pace of educational institutes. The authors have also compared both online and offline education, and the student’s perception about the effectiveness of online education. Although the offline mode of education is still more effective, the online education mode helped the education sector achieve sustainability. However, further actions need to be taken to improve the online way of teaching.
