Guidelines for online group creation/joining of group

1. Student must refer to attachment (List of students.xls) for minimum and maximum number
of students in a group applicable for a particular course code as interface will not allow
creating the group having size beyond applicable range.

2. It is desired that all the students who want to work together as a group shall first interact with
each other via suitable communication medium like telephonically, email, LPU live,
Whatsapp, messenger etc.

3. Once the desired numbers of students are ready to work as a group, only one student from the
group can initiate the process as group creator for online group creation by visiting the
following UMS link.

should add the other students for seeking their online consent. The group creator does not
