The university was shut since March last year. This year in February, final year students were allowed to return to colleges for accessing labs and take practical classes. However, the classes were suspended again in April due to the second wave of Covid-19.
The Delhi University had issued an official notification in August announcing that it would hold physical classes for Science stream students in view of a decline in coronavirus cases, however, it later deferred its decision.
