The resumption of the classes is planned in order that students can complete their remaining academic components. Examinations are going to be completed by July 31, said the JNU.
Meanwhile, the coming semester for the continuing students will start from August 1. With a significant time being lost because of the compulsory total lockdown across India to contain the Coronavirus, the distinguished university doesn't want to waste any more time. "Even if the examination results aren't ready by July 31, students will have the opportunity to provisionally register and go on to the next semester," said the JNU.
Like last semester, the whole monsoon semester registration process is going to be completely online making it easy for the kids to register even from their homes. Last time it created a row with many students objecting to it. "We have made sure that research scholars who need to submit their theses/dissertations won't face any difficulty as the deadline for submission is shifted to December 31, 2020," the university added.
