In a circular released by the varsity administration, it was disclosed that registrations will begin on August 24th, and online classes for undergraduate, postgraduate, and teacher education courses will commence from August 27th.
The circular said that owing to the loss of classes in August due to COVID-19 pandemic, the university will be holding classes 6 days a week to make up for the same.
'As per the UGC Regulations 2018, there should be a minimum of 30 weeks of actual teaching in a 6-day week or 36 weeks if the University adopts a 5 day week pattern.
