Abstract
The NEP, 2020 recognizes the challenge of providing technical education to millions of youth during the pandemic. Hence, it recommends for the use of blended modes of learning which is a mix of both online and direct mode. Even UGC proposes a blended mode of teaching and learning in HEIs. An attempt has been made in this article to present a theoretical background of blended mode with an emphasis on various structures and role of teachers and students. Further, the modalities of implementation considering some possible scenarios in BL as proposed by UGC are discussed. The paper has been concluded by describing various pedagogic approaches like online and F2F modes ; project based learning ; and integrating technology in online learning. A blended mode of learning is considered as a best approach, since it responds to all learning requirements and styles. Many international learning organizations have adopted this approach as a major tool and technique for imparting higher education, especially the technical courses like Engineering. Hope the present article gives some insights into classroom practices of blended mode
