Delhi University students of final-year UG, PG demand to hold classes in hybrid mode

With Delhi University slated to resume offline teaching from Thursday, a section of outstation students especially those in the final year have demanded that classes be held in hybrid format.

DU colleges are set to reopen and resume offline classes from February 17. Some colleges will be holding classes for the first-year students in hybrid format, while second and third year students will have to attend classes in person.

The move has caused distress among outstation students who are scrambling to make travelling and accommodation arrangements. Some of them said exams are approaching and there is no point in making accommodation arrangements for just a



couple of months.

Outstation final-year under-graduate and post-graduate students of the Delhi University have started a petition stating they should not be called back for just two months.

Addressed to the vice-chancellor, registrar, proctor and the dean of students welfare, the petition has been started on change.org, and over 40,000 people have already signed it.

“Several outstation students are worried about travelling to Delhi. But our voices are drowning amid all the excitement. There are several graduate and post-graduate students like me who are in the final year of their studies at DU,” said the petition started by Kalyani AP.
