“Ranking does denote power but responsibility”. Selecting a reputed educational institute is a daunting task for students. During the past decade, educationists have expressed their concerns over the importance of global rankings and the lack of Indian universities, majorly technology and management institutes from this. A national ranking framework was set up to make sure that universities keep working hard in providing scholastic education to the students that are at par with international standards.  When students examine different colleges and universities, the most significant parameter they pay the most attention to is the ranking. Students are more likely to choose the education university or institute having a higher NIRF Ranking.  Among various universities, Chandigarh University is the youngest university to be ranked by NIRF in India. It is one of the top 100 Engineering and Management Institutions in NIRF Ranking 2020. What is the National Institute Ranking Framewo...

EdTech is a buzzword in the present age. It is an area of technology that is exclusively dedicated to the development and application of tools that aim to promote education. Technology has remodelled every aspect of our lives and the education sector is no different. It has manifested itself in divergent ways throughout the ages. The major transition in the classroom's education and contemporary schooling is far better, more streamlined, and more advanced than it used to be ten years ago.  David Warlick - an educator, author, and public speaker emphasize the integration of technology in the classroom as it is the pen and paper of today’s time.  How can we forget how technology in education became a lifeline during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the school shutdowns and remote learning, education technology has become a lifebelt for the continuation of learning.  As technology continues to progress and children become more technophilic, its benefits in education are skyrock...
