Arvind Dhingra from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College said it was a unique concept initiated by PTU and has received good response from students. “Some students are not able to buy books and with the help of e-pathshala, their burden will be eased. They can get themselves enrolled for the e-Pathshala and download the notes for free. Now, students can avoid buying costly books after enrolling themselves with e-Pathshala,” he said.

Another teacher from the colleges affiliated to PTU said students could avail many facilities after enrolling themselves with the e-Pathshala. “Not only notes, they can also get database figures and research reports. Every regular and private student can avail the facility of getting themselves enrolled,” she said. Aryan Rajput, a student, said, “Now, I am relieved of the tension of buying costly books. I also work part-time to assist her. When I came to know about the e-pathshala I was more than elated,” he said.
