Problem Statement
During the COVID lockdown era, many students encountered challenges in maintaining their regular study routines, which were traditionally addressed through group studies. Group studies prove to be an effective means of problem-solving and enhancing understanding among peers. In these unprecedented times, where traditional study groups may not be feasible, leveraging technology becomes crucial. Virtual study sessions, facilitated by online platforms, allow students to collaborate, discuss problems, and collectively navigate the challenges of remote learning.
