Colleges check vaccination status, ask students to take jab
After several months, the gates of Delhi University reopened for practical classes for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students on Wednesday. However, students didn’t rush in, and the attendance was low. A reason for the low turnout could be the absence of outstation students, said principals of several colleges.
Officials said that vaccination status of students was being checked before they were permitted to enter.
Bijaylaxmi Nanda, acting principal of Miranda House, said: “Practical classes for third year students resumed in the college and we had about 10-15 students for each class. We are also checking for the vaccination status of students and are encouraging them to take at least one dose. Right now, the percentage is very low and mostly students who are from Delhi attended college.”
