Amid coronavirus spread, state governments have shut academic institutions, schools, colleges, and universities. Examinations are postponed, classes are suspended, and universities and schools are shifting to online platforms to conduct lectures and examinations. Many premier management institutes like IIM Indore, IIM Shillong, IIM Ahmedabad, and more have canceled their convocations, deferred events and outside travel to avoid the spread of novel coronavirus.
