Abstract

The genesis of COVID-19 disrupted the normal functioning, daily routine, and habits of all people around the world. The social distancing measures resulted in the world’s most significant revolution of digitalization – starting from schools to colleges and MNCs, everything and everyone was online in front of a screen. The new normal was the digital screen, working in pyjamas, PowerPoint presentations, online quizzes, and work-from- home culture. However, with the global decrease in the overall cases of COVID-19 in late 2021 and 2022, the inevitable transition was again set in motion. The only difference this time was going to be from online to offline mode. The most affected section of people during both transitions were students. As most of the educational institutions are reopening, students have buckled up to attend the schools and colleges so that they can interact with their friends, classmates, professors, and teachers in person rather than talking to them across a screen. Considering this, research has been conducted to identify the challenges faced by university-level students of Delhi NCR due to the sudden transition from an online to an offline mode of education.

The study aims to identify and examine the causes and suggestions for the challenges faced by students due to sudden changes. The research focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of the online and offline modes of education. This study is a reflection of the minds of university-level students. It also aims to provide suggestions to college and government authorities to aid students to acclimatize to this transition smoothly.
