After announcing five cut-off lists with overwhelming responses, the University of Delhi (DU) is ready to start the classes for the new batch of students from November 22. Whether or not these classes will be held in physical mode is not revealed yet. Students have been demanding to reopen the varsity for quite some time now. While the schools have been reopening in Delhi, the university is yet to open its doors. For students who have been promoted to even semesters of undergraduate courses, the classes will begin from April 7, the university announced.

The new academic session is scheduled to begin on August 26. Students will have summer breaks between April 13 to 15.
For reopening classes in physical mode, the university says its awaiting DDMA to allow 100% capacity. “How can we reopen until and unless the DDMA allows 100 per cent seating capacity. 60 per cent of students of the university are from outside Delhi. We can’t ask them to come here, stay in a hostel and take online classes since only 50 per cent seating capacity is allowed,” Delhi University Registrar Vikas Gupta told PTI.
Currently, most classes are being held in online mode and the laboratory classes for final year students (both undergraduate and postgraduate) is allowed on the campus with COVID-19 protocols.
