Also, directors and deans shall make an assessment of completion of syllabus and finalise a timetable for end semester exams, the university decided in a recent meeting chaired by the Vice-Chancellor.

On March 22, BHU had suspended all offline classes owing to the rise in the number of active COVID-19 cases in the state. In the recent meeting held yesterday, it was decided that the university will function with 50 per cent staff without hampering any service of the university.

The HoD's or controlling officers of the office concerned shall prepare a roster to ensure that 50 per cent of the employees shall attend the office every alternate day,” a university statement said.

“Those staff who are not required to attend the office on a particular day, shall work from home and should be available on telephone or electronic means of communications at all times,” it added.

However, BHU also said: “This shall not be applicable to essential services on the campus like SS Hospital, Trauma Centre, Super-Specialty Building, Health Centres, EWSS, SSS, Security, Dairy, Agriculture Farm, Horticulture, Exams duties and those directly engaged in taking measures to control spread of COVID -19.”

Hostel administrations should daily assess the situation in their hostels and report to the office of the Vice-Chancellor with a copy of the same to the registrar and dean of students, the university said.
