While several schools and colleges are yet contemplating ways to go completely online in view of the COVID-19, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has decided to go completely online for next semester.

The premier technology institute from Mumbai becomes the first IIT to take this decision formally. While the institute is to declare a detailed plan in the near future for the students, it has also announced that it will require donations to ensure that students from all socio-economic backgrounds are able to join in.
