The portal could also host live and interactive talks, allow interactive sessions where applicants may speak to staff and current students about their experiences -- all from the comfort of their own home. Offer online counseling and interviews : As a measure to reduce face to face interactions, schools could conduct video interviews to shortlist the best candidates.
