IIIT Allahabad to reopen campus in phases from March 1

The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Allahabad is all set to open its campus for offline classes in a phased manner from March 1.  

IIIT Allahabad P Nagabhushan said they have called PhD, MTech and MBA students for offline classes at Jhalwa campus from March 1. “The students will have to bring an acceptance letter from their parents and will also need to execute an undertaking that they will not go back home till the end of the semester to ensure safety of the fellow students and their teachers,” he said. 

The decision to reopen the campus was taken in a meeting of admission assessment and award (AAA) section of IIIT Allahabad wherein the members were apprised that in view of the state government’s order advising to open all academic institutions in full capacity, IIIT Allahabad will open its campus for the students from next month. 

Nagabhushan said postgraduate students would be called first as they are considered to be more matured in abiding the Covid-19 related guidelines. Only those undergraduate students who have some kind of resource constraint will be called to the campus. 

An official said, “Only fully vaccinated will be allowed on the campus, be it resource constrained student or someone else.” For resource constrained BTech students, hostels will remain open from March 1 while they will attend online classes from campus hostels till the classes are started in physical mode. Whereas for rest of the BTech students, including BTech fourth year, hostels will reopen from April 18, 2022, for BTech third year from March 21, BTech second year from July 25 and BTech first year admitted in 2021 from April 12, the institute Director said.
