When Rajesh Jha, an assistant professor at Delhi University-affiliated Rajdhani College, begins teaching his first-year political science honours class later this month, he will have 75 students to interact with.
Jha says clarifying the doubts of 75 students at an online class will be challenging. Even after the college opens for in-person classes in the future, the situation will remain “extremely difficult”, he said.
“Two years ago, a class of political science honours students in our college had 60 students. On any given day, 50 students came. Each classroom can accommodate 40 students. We adjusted with difficulty,” Jha, a member of DU’s executive council, said.
