Colleges have reopened in the city, but most principals are facing problems when it comes to running these effectively, especially while preparing for full-fledged classes. The government order states that students, teachers and other staff have to be fully vaccinated to be on campus, but there are some teachers who are against vaccination, reducing the number of teachers who can be on campus. This, in turn, is making it difficult for the administration to prepare class schedules.
Colleges in the city reopened last month with much zeal as everybody was happy to be back on campus after almost two years. However, the physical reopening started with less capacity and restricted courses, and Diwali vacations were soon approaching, making it easier. But now, as colleges are looking at full-fledged reopening, they are facing more obstacles.
