UGC has stated that HEIS should concentrate on ICT implementation in HEIs. Christ College already installed moodle LMS, but the penetration is very low among teachers and students

The IQAC of the College has paid special attention to promote ICT integration and e-learning and make the whole teaching-learning process smart. The college community understood that shifting to ICT environment is very essential in order to become more efficient, effective, and competitive in the information era. Thus, when Covid-19 struck the world and educational practices, the College was equipped to face these challenges effectively due to ICT integration and E-learning practices, which we had started earlier.

Students of our College, majority of who come from rural areas face difficulties during the online entrance and competitive exams, as they are not familiar with such technologies. Proper training for online exams will surely enhance their chances to be successful in such entrance examinations and in shaping their career and skill development.
