The government began re-opening schools and colleges from January this year after they remained closed for over nine months due to the pandemic. But soon the government decided to shut them down as Covid-19 cases began rising in the state; online education was resumed.
“Usually the summer vacation is for 45 days but this time due to Covid-19, the period has been shortened to ensure that students start their new academic year on time,” said a source.
A few universities declared vacations ahead of the state government’s announcement due to the worsening Covid-19 situation. North Gujarat University announced its May vacation a few days ago. On Friday, ahead of the state’s announcement, Gujarat Technological University (GTU) announced its vacation from May 3 to June 2. A GTU official clarified that since the government has made an announcement, the varsity will recall its circular.
GTU has announced its online exams between May 4 and May 13 for the final semester regular/remedial summer 2021 batch; the exams will be in the MCQ format. They will continue as planned. Faculty members and the heads of institutes will have to perform exam duties as required by the university.
Gujarat University recently decided to give merit-based progression to second and fourth-semester students of undergraduate programmes and to second semester students of postgraduate courses.
