Attention Please!

We have observed that many students are using multiple browsers/windows/tabs, for Login and Facial Verification (FV). If this is done, the eLearning system will log you out completely. We have introduced a timeslot-based system by which, whenever you try to log in, a dedicated five-minute time slot will be allocated to you for Login and FV, to avoid delay and congestion

Congratulations! You are one amongst the thousands of learners who have enrolled in our E-Learning courses. View details
