Colleges must sanitise campuses, classrooms, labs and avoid crowds inside and around the campus. Students and staff must always wear a mask, use sanitizers and wash hands regularly.
Students who are unwell or unable to attend regular classes must attend online classes, the department said. Classes for both I and II PU students must start at the same time, the SOPs state.
Officials have been asked to ensure staff have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Students of PU colleges in Bangalore are also required to present a self-declaration and permission from parents saying they do not have any Covid-19 symptoms.
