The release also conveyed that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our way of living with one of the hardest hit sectors being educational institutes.
When the countrywide lockdown was first declared on March 25, 2020, students, teachers and all the stakeholders were taken by surprise.
None of the stakeholders were prepared for such situations but asked to vacate their hostels within short notice.
Many thought the lockdown will be of short duration.
However, due to the worsening COVID situation, the lockdown persisted.
As normal teaching and learning in a classroom and laboratories were out of question, NIT Manipur had to adopt a new way to carry out its various academic activities in online platform.
In a short period of time NIT Manipur purchased Webex, laptops, etc, to facilitate faculty members to conduct online classes.
Students also burned their midnight oil to compete with their counterparts despite various limitations and difficulties, the release maintained.
Owing to the dedicated efforts of the institute's authority, faculty members and hard work of students, the institute achieved academic excellence in the form of research papers, online seminars, sponsored projects, etc, to name a few.
The strength of an educational institute is reflected by the performance and achievements of its students.
Many more students of the institute are joining for higher studies in various institutes across the country and the globe, it added.
