3-month free access to engineering e-learning courseware and e-Labs for students

                                    Coempt’s online learning for Covid-confined!


Hyderabad, 20th April 2020: In a bid to support universities, engineering colleges and the teacher-student fraternity across India in these trying times of the Covid-19 global pandemic, Manipal Group’s Coempt Edu Teck Pvt. Ltd — as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility — brings for students a 3-month free access (beginning April) to engineering e-learning courseware covering over 165 subjects and more than 700 practical e-lab experiments it has developed using such multimedia components as animation, voiceover, text and pictures. Because of the government-advised lockdown countrywide to battle the Covid-19 scourge, the academic studies and exam preparations of students have been badly affected, causing stress to many of them in these troubled times. Even parents and teachers are feeling extremely stressed out. Day after day passes without classroom lessons or study-related activities and nobody knows for sure when the educational institutes, especially colleges — shut for over a month — will reopen. But this is pre-emptive, preventive and necessary action.

                                                       Mr. VSN Raju, CEO, Coempt.
However, time is of the essence for students! Those aspiring to become engineers, especially, have to work really hard against the clock to achieve good results and get industry-ready to grab their dream placements. So, students mostly have to rely on discussions with friends, peers and teachers through social media, which is inadequate, to say the least! “The use of Coempt’s learning management system helps in the delivery of educational material online, for instance, lecture slides, PPT, PDF tasks and learning activities. And our steps to make our courses available online for free is to support the student and teaching communities at these critical times.,” said Mr. VSN Raju, CEO, Coempt. Coempt shows the way Coempt is providing students a 3-month free access to its learning portal, www.EduLib.in, also featured in the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) website. Interested students can log in through their PCs or laptops using the Internet to access Coempt’s courseware. They can create their unique login IDs by filling in a brief registration form to access this e-learning platform.
