PU Online Classes: Patna University (PU) decided to suspend all its offline classes from Monday, i.e. April 4, 2021, taking cognizance of the state education department’s instructions. Reports suggest that PU will now be conducting online classes until further orders. While the students are asked to stay at home, teachers and non-teaching staff of the university and all its allied units would report to their duties as usual. The heads of postgraduate departments and college principals have been directed to ensure proper sanitization of their respective institutions and follow the COVID-19 protocols. The University decided to conduct online classes to curb the academic loss of students owing to the suspension of regular classroom teaching.
Talking about the precautions being followed by the varsity, PU students’ welfare dean N K Jha told, “Boys and girls residing in different hostels of the university would stay there by following the safety norms like social distancing and proper sanitization. Hostel superintendents have been asked to take care of all their boarders and keep a constant vigil on their movement. The process of allotment of hostel accommodation to newly admitted PG students was to be completed by April 10, but now it would be delayed owing to disruption of normal campus activities.”
However, the University will conduct the PhD coursework examination as scheduled on April 8 and 9 following all the COVID-19 protocol. Jha informed that more than 1500 scholars are to take the examination at Magadh Mahila College centre.
Meanwhile, Nalanda Open University on April 4, announced that all its examinations of 2020 commencing from Monday, i.e. April 5, would be held as scheduled with full safety measures. The venue and timing of examinations would remain the same. However, according to an NOU notification, no student would be allowed to take the examination without wearing a face mask.
