UGC issues guidelines for colleges reopening

Directs 50 percent attendance in classrooms
UGC guidelines: Colleges and universities across the nation have started reopening their gates for offline classes after being closed since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure the safety of students, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued post-COVID-19 guidelines. As per the UGC guidelines, the universities and college campuses will function with 50 percent of students in attendance, and outside college activities will be restricted. Apart from physical distancing norms, colleges are expected to ensure students and staff members wear masks at all times and ensure the campus is disinfected every day.
