JNU to reopen partially from November 2; Hostels to open from November 16

JNU will reopen in a phased manner, starting from November 2, for final year PhD students. Hostels to open in the second phase from November 16.

Jawaharlal Nehru University has announced that it will be opening the varsity in a phased manner, starting from November 2, for final year PhD research scholars, including 9B students and project staff who require laboratory work in Science schools and special centres. In the second phase, from November 16, hostels will be opened for these students, an official statement said.
Students will require certification from their supervisors, mentioning that they require laboratory access to complete PhD thesis work. The implementation of the second phase -- reopening of hostels -- is dependent on the successful implementation of the first phase, JNU said. The subsequent phases for reopening the campus will be worked after reviewing the first two phases, the university said.

Students on arrival to the campus will have to mandatorily fill up a self-declaration form. They will also be required to undergo a mandatory seven-day self-quarantine after coming to Delhi. 

The central library, canteens and dhabas will remain closed during the first two phases, an official statement said. Students and employees must download the Arogya Setu app and social gathering will not be permitted at any part of the JNU campus.
