The varsity had briefly opened its campus in March this year but it had to shut down again on account of the second wave of the pandemic.

The new Vice-chancellor have directed the officials from different departments to plan for offline classes from October 25. “The university will give additional 15 days for the first-year students to report to the campus. The health department will organise a vaccination camp for the students and the staff from October 23,” he said.

Surendra Singh has taken over Prof BP Sharma who had retired on October 9. The new Vice-chancellor said that admission for the current academic session. 

Officials said that the hostels will also open for the students soon. There are nearly 5,000 rooms in 12 boys’ and six girls’ hostels in the university.

The university offers 124 academic programmes in technology, management, engineering, law, humanity, cyber security, business analytics, data science, among others.
