Jamia Millia Islamia shifts to online classes till Nov 23 amid air pollution

After Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has also transitioned to online classes, citing alarming air pollution levels in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Classes will remain online until November 23, 2024, while exams and interviews will proceed as scheduled.

Jamia released an official order stating, “The Air Quality Index (AQI) in



Delhi & NCR has deteriorated to an alarmingly high level. In the larger interest of students, it has been decided that classes will be conducted online till Saturday, November 23, 2024. Regular physical classes will resume on Monday, November 25, 2024.”

The decision aligns with similar moves by DU and JNU, both of which cited the “alarmingly high” pollution levels for their shift to online classes.
