"We have posted the Google form for parents' consent. We are doing theory classes online and practical classes offline so that combination doesn't suit those who stay outside Delhi, which is why many might not have said yes for coming to college," said Dr Anju Srivastava, principal of Hindu College.

The students attending the offline practical classes at DU should have at least received one dose of the Covid vaccine. The students who are to live in hostels should however be fully vaccinated against Covid. Both teaching and non-teaching staff attending the classes should be fully vaccinated.

Only those experiments, practicals, the DU guidelines on reopening added, would be held which are essential for the upcoming semester.

Professor Balaram Pani, Dean of Colleges of Delhi University and the principal of Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Sciences, said that students from Delhi are expected to come and even if students from outside Delhi come, they would face the problem of finding accommodation.

"We will see the turnout and then decide on the feasibility of holding physical classes. The libraries have been opened and we will see the library footfall and that would give us a rough idea on how many students are coming to colleges for issuing of books," he added.
