Education methodologies has taken a complete revamp since the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic across the globe. The teaching and learning methods became dependent on virtual framework during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Metaverse refers to 3D digital space which bridges the gap between real and virtual world with the help of advanced technologies. The current study highlights its origin, features and possible application in the education sector. Metaverse could be an essential tool in the education sector especially in this era. The current work also provides in-depth discussions of metaverse’s features.
