"For the last two months ever since the lockdown has started, Sri Balaji University has slowly migrated to online classroom sessions by using Microsoft teams for our junior students. Apart from the online classes, we are in interaction with our students on a periodic basis which otherwise we normally do it our auditoria. We have successfully completed our fourth-semester examinations also by using the same Microsoft product. An open paper examination followed with an online viva by our faculties who are from the respective subject matter expertise. Now we have extended the same approach to conducting our online admission process as well without even compromising the quality standards, which otherwise we used to maintain. Thanks to Microsoft Team," said Prof Dr Biju G Pillai, Senior Director IT and Admissions, Sri Balaji University, Pune.
