IIMC Delhi To Conduct Practical Classes From April 26

IIMC Delhi said in a statement on Friday that classroom practical sessions of various PG diploma courses such as making lab journals and other exercises will start from April 26.

The Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) on Friday said it has decided to start practical classes for various post-graduate diploma courses from April 26 at its New Delhi campus. A number of IIMC students had staged a protest on Monday demanding to reopen the campus for practical classes. Since practical classes could not be held in the first semester due to the coronavirus outbreak, the protesting students demanded the institute to make arrangements for the students. The institute said in a statement on Friday that classroom practical sessions of various PG diploma courses such as making lab journals and other exercises will start from April 26. However, the final "timetable with details of lab allotment and timings" will be drawn up after all the course directors get "the consent/readiness of individual students to attend the class in person in the next 2 to 3 days". "While the students may fill the consent form, it should be accompanied by signed consent from parents as well, when they attend classes for the first time. Students should also produce Covid negativity certificate (RTPCR) on reporting to the Institute," it said.
