Panjab University to resume offline classes for more students from March

Panjab University (PU) has announced that it has decided to reopen the campus for more students, once the semester examinations end on March 3. As per the announcement made by the varsity, all the departments will reopen in offline mode for all postgraduate and final-year undergraduate (UG) students. 

The move comes after the Chandigarh administration allowed higher educational institutes to function physically from February. Till the last semester, the varsity had allowed only research scholars and final-year students of some PG courses to return to campus.

It must be noted that Panjab University will provide hostel accommodation but on a merit basis. Students will be required to produce a consent letter from the parents mentioning that their wards will follow all SOPs/directions issued by the government and university from time to time.

Also, students have to submit an undertaking through their respective department heads that if the situation demands, they will vacate the hostel. It must be noted that it is mandatory for the students to be fully vaccinated and they will need to present a negative RT-PCR test report not older than 72 hours of reporting to the hostel. Guest/visitor entry will not be allowed in the varsity hostels till further orders.

Meanwhile, the varsity students also welcomed the decision of the University. Nikhil Narmeta of NSUI, said, “It is a good decision that varsity has finally allowed the students to return to campus. This will prove beneficial for the students who have relied on online education during the pandemic.”
