BHU to conduct online classes, open book exams due to Covid-19

BHU will be conducting online classes and open book exams for even semester students due to the rise in Covid-19 cases in the city.

In view of the sudden surge of Covid-19 cases in the city, the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has decided to conduct the classes in online mode for the rest of the semester. This decision has been taken for the safety of the students amid the second wave of the pandemic in the country. The end-term exams for the students of even semesters will be conducted online in the open book format this year due to the surge in Covid-19 cases. These decisions were taken in a recent meeting chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of the university. On March 22, the BHU administration had decided to suspend the offline classes being conducted on campus until further notice, keeping in mind the sudden surge of Covid-19 cases in the BHU hospital and hostel in the past few weeks.
