Offline practicals at Global Group

Global Group of Institutes has decided to dedicate a whole week to conducting practicals for students of BTech, Hotel Management, Pharmacy and Agriculture after a long period of forced online teaching as the classes started offline for the session. The decision was taken in view of the fact that online practicals can’t substitute for physical conduct of the practicals in the labs under the supervision of the teachers. The practical classes are being conducted to make up for any omissions or deficiencies that might have occurred during online classes. The college is also conducting practical classes for agriculture students, where actual experience in the fields regarding crop cultivation, crop management and harvesting can only be learnt in the fields and not just by reading the books or the notes sitting in the classrooms.
