Department of Management organized Intra Collegiate Management Fest for the students of III BBA hosted by the final year students.  In recent years, the application of virtual and augmented reality learning environments is increasing both in general education (primary, secondary, and university studies) and in technical education in industrial or professional fields. In addition, the current epidemiological situation regarding COVID-19 has encouraged the adoption of non-formal education and current patterns indicate that distance learning will gain more weight in the near future. Therefore, new applications based on Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are expected to emerge in the coming years to facilitate students’ self-study, provide extensive practical work opportunities, or even teach theoretical content. These new educational challenges generate a high level of expectations in institutions and individuals.
