The state educational body, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT) initiated online classes, where BBIT came up with creative teaching learning process through modern LMS. The IT network team of BBIT developed a centralized monitoring system where all the theory and Practical classes are being uploaded by all the departments.
