In-person classes in colleges and universities in the state are unlikely to be held in the upcoming semester, to start in April, because of a fresh rise in the number of Covid-19 cases, an official in the education department said.
The spike in cases has also prompted the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Durgapur, to defer implementing its decision to recall final-year BTech students to the campus.
Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur, an autonomous college under Calcutta University, has issued a notice announcing that it will conduct mid-semester, tutorial examinations and internal assessment in the online mode in the upcoming semester.
