In light of the current increase in COVID-19 incidents, the authorities at Cluster University Srinagar (CUS) have agreed to have a 50 percent attendance of teaching staff at its constituent colleges on a rotating basis.
The decision comes on the heels of the government decision to close the institutions for physical classes till May 15.
While the government had excluded from the order the courses requiring practical work, Registrar CUS, Mir Khurshid Ahmad told Greater Kashmir that class work for both theory and practical demonstration will continue through online mode as per the time table.
He further informed that there will be 50 percent attendance of staff on rotation basis at the colleges.
The registrar further said the teaching faculty has been asked to transact the academic activities through online mode by using different digital platforms including Zoom App, Google Classroom, Skype, Slack, Microsoft teams, Blue Jeans, Big Blue Button, Webex and Telegram to prevent any academic loss.
“Concerned heads of the departments shall ensure the attendance of students,” a university notice reads.
