Online learning always consists of two types of learning synchronous and asynchronous learning. To give our students the best in this situation, the school has tied up with Extramarks to fill in the gaps of online learning.
Online classes are conducted daily, but sometimes students do not attend their classes primarily due to network issues at their place. Hence sometimes students miss their lectures. In such a scenario, Extramarks comes handy to the students to cope up with their missed sessions.
