St Aloysius College (Autonomous) has taken unique unprecedented measures to support learning amid a pandemic by launching 34 short term online certificate courses.

The courses will run from May 3 to May 25. These certificate courses have been conceived, designed and offered by different departments and members of the staff to the students of the college and other interested members of the public.
