One teacher raised concern about CBSE school teachers who have to teach online classes and submit numerous daily reports hardly have any time left for evaluation work of board exams.
Cbse copies are being delivered at home to evaluate and at the same time 4hours of online teaching plus many daily reports to submit. Where is any time left to evaluate and do related paper work. #EducationMinisterGoesLive #AajKiBaat @RajatSharmaLive

One user on Twitter asked pointed out that students in rural areas are at an disadvantage when it came to online studies and asked about how to deal with this disparity.
While the students at the city level will be at advantageous stage for their studies many of the rural students may be far away from the basic stuffs. How will we deal with this duality raised due to pandemic? #EducationMinisterGoesLive

Several teachers raised concerns about the fate of TEQIP III faculty whose contracts would end in September 2020. TEQIP programme has helped improve technical education in colleges located in rural and remote areas and an extension of term for TEQIP faculty will ensure quality engineering education for all students.
A large number of Engg. students are benefiting from #TEQIPIII project.
