Hello Naresh,

The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Thursday issued guidelines for starting higher education institutions. The decision to start the colleges has been left to the state government and the vice chancellors of the universities. As per the latest status of Corona, the state government wants to take a decision on actually starting colleges in the state. However, the UGC has issued guidelines on what precautions to take if the college actually starts.

Suggestions are given for six days schedule, minimum number of classes, setting up segregation system on campus, Covid-19 screening of students, teachers and other staff. Colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning across the country have been closed since March due to the corona virus infection. However, as the number of Corona patients in the country is coming under control, a decision may be taken by the central government to start colleges and universities in the near future. Against this backdrop, UGC has issued SOPs for starting universities and colleges.

Depending on the availability of space at the institute, 50 per cent students will be admitted alternately to prevent infection.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions.

Have a good day!!
