Delhi University day two attendance was quite good, however, the teachers have said that more students can be expected on the campus next week when the hostellers will return.
Delhi University has reopened its colleges and started physical classes on Thursday. However, hostellers did not show up so far. Teachers have expressed hope that attendance will increase in the coming week when hostellers return.
The colleges of Delhi University were closed for almost two years due to the Covid-19 outbreak. As the cases have now decreased, colleges have also resumed.
"The attendance in these two days was actually more than we expected, but I believe things will return to pre-Covid times soon," said a professor at the Hindu College.
Authorities at Gargi College said outstation students have begun arriving and the numbers will rise from Monday onwards.
"I arrived in Delhi today so that I can settle myself over the weekend. I wasn't prepared for this and was hoping that classes would start from March 1. But I didn't want to miss out on my studies, so I rushed. I will be joining college from Monday," Ritika Jain, a student of Keshav Mahavidyalaya, said.
