NEW DELHI: The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Vice Chancellor has approved various departments, centres and schools to resume offline teaching and learning activities in a phased manner from March 7.

However, students will be allowed to reside in the residential hostels only after producing valid Covid vaccination certificates.

“The opening dates have been decided in a phased manner for the ease of outstation students from various parts of the country so that they can comfortably make the necessary travelling arrangements”, said AMU Registrar, Abdul Hamid (IPS) said.
