New Delhi, May 12 : Last February, with the onset of Covid-19 pandemic, educational institutions across the country had to comply by government regulations and shut down operations to uphold the safety of the students and curb the spread of the virus.
However, the resilience and willingness to adapt to change saw online tutorials replace classroom learnings allowing to maintain imparting education to the students of the country.
As the crisis prolonged students nearing their graduation faced a major challenge towards their placement prospective. A recent report by Naukri.com highlighted how about 66 per cent of students did not receive their offer letters, while 44 per cent faced deferred joining dates after being hired. The report also highlighted how another 33 per cent students did not hear back from the employer with regard to the status of their employment.
