Apart from the suggestive calendar, UGC has also asked the universities to follow a 6-day week pattern to compensate for the loss of studies for 2019-20 session during the lockdown and for the next session 2020-21.
UGC has also emphasized to develop and utilize the facilities like virtual classroom and video conferencing and to train all teaching staff in using the technology.
"In order to overcome such challenges in future, the faculty should be adequately trained for the use of ICT and online teaching tools, so that they complete about 25% of the syllabus through online teaching and 75% syllabus through face to face teaching," says UGC.
