After a gap of two years due to COVID-19, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) reopened on Wednesday with the resumption of offline classes for final year students of all postgraduate courses. Jamia spokesperson Ahmed Azim told PTI that the first day of resumption of classes was a “success”.

In the last three semesters we only attended online classes

International Relations final year student Firdous Ahmed Barbhuiya was excited to come to the college to attend classes for the first time. “This is the first time; I have attended physical classes at Jamia. It was wonderful. In the last three semesters we attended online classes only. Today we had two classes, we interacted a lot with the teachers,” he said.

Mr Azeem said that the ID cards, negative RTPCR reports were thoroughly checked at the gate before the students were allowed to enter the campus. We maintained proper social distancing, documents were checked properly, – he said.

Social distancing is followed inside the premises

Jamia to welcome students to the campus put up a banner which read, Jamia Millia Islamia welcomes final year students on phase-wise reopening of the university.
Classes have resumed for students in final years of 70 postgraduate courses. Mr Azim said that all the CORONA-19 protocols were followed and it was ensured that social distancing is maintained inside the premises.

The students also complained that the RTPCR report caused some inconvenience:

    • a) Mr. Azeem said that the attendance of students is different in different courses. Many courses saw maximum attendance, while some courses had very low attendance, – he said.
    • b) The administration said that they are expecting more students to come soon. Following the improvement in the CORONA-19 situation, the university last month notified that physical classes for final year postgraduate students would resume from March 2 and for final year undergraduate students from mid-March. With the permission of the registrar, three dry canteens were also opened in the university from March 2.
    • c) They did not allow those students who did not have RTPCR report to enter for several hours but after persistent efforts they allowed us. It was quite chaotic, – said Hammad, a PG final year student.
