Due to the ongoing nationwide lockdown, the university has shifted to online teaching. More than 58 per cent of the students said they are rarely able to attend online classes.
The students and DUTA have been opposing this decision with various student organizations staging online protests from their home asking universities to withdraw the decision. They are also demanding MHRD to intervene in the matter.
