  5. i believe like everything else it depends upon person to person. Nowadays as it is, students don’t attend colleges, so it is better to study from home or elsewhere through the internet or CDs. I myself have successfully completed my degree through the online medium. The course as well as the exams was smooth sailing for me. Online Education is here to stay.

  6. Hi Vicky your views are bang on. But we are not trying to compare the two countries, we are simply stating the facts w.r.t the two countries. If you read into the article then you will find that we have written about how India is taking small steps towards online education, while online education is used to supplement regular classes in the US.
