HYDERABAD: Colleges and universities in the city are set to reopen hostels on Sunday, expecting return of students from various districts. Institutions have decided to commence classes only for final year students to begin with, from Monday.
Some colleges have asked students to sign an undertaking stating that they don’t have any Covid-19 symptoms. Colleges are ensuring that not more than two students are accommodated in four-bedded rooms and only single students are accommodated in two-bedded rooms.
Classes in junior colleges will be held in two shifts from Monday, as per guidelines issued by the Telangana government.
“For the first 20 days, final year students will attend classes and subsequently students of other years will be called to college. The idea is to complete their practical and laboratory work and continue theory classes online,” said Manzoor Hussain, registrar, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad.
