National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Indian National Congress, has also set up booths to extend a helping hand to the new students. The pandemic had disturbed the academic calendar which resulted in breaks of only a few days or no breaks across colleges. It also impacted the uniformity of semesters as classes were starting at different times. Sanjana Kumari, a fresher who has opted for political science (hons) at Daulat Ram College, expressed excitement and enthusiasm for getting admission into a north campus college.
