Student Group

A student group is comprised of students who belong to the same batch or are enrolled in the same course.

For instance, if a set of students studying the same program together forms a student batch, then within this batch, a subgroup of students who have selected the same elective course would constitute a Student Group.

To access Student Group, go to:
