During the post Covid period, the Department has continued with the blended mode of learning and extensive use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to make learning more attractive and presentable to the students.  To cater to the students individually, the Department has a separate staffroom with Laptop, Desktop and a Departmental Library with reference books. The Department has made extensive use of the digital platforms and has successfully encouraged the students to build up their technical know-how, which would immensely benefit them in the long run.
