To avoid the risk of coronavirus infection, 14 days quarantine is compulsory for the students on returing to the campus.

Take note: About a dozen students and staff were infected with coronavirus during first and second wave of Covid-19.

Since, IIT Indore made Covid-19 guidelines stricter.

After the effect of the second wave of Corona weakened, many BTech students raised the demand to start offline classes.

They said that online classes are not as effective as offline ones and practical and project works are impossible in virtual mode.

But IIT Indore management did not accede to this demand.

Presently, 484 students of UG, PG and PhD courses are in the campus.

IIT PRO Dr Sunil Kumar said that offline classes will not be held this month. “Students who have completed their quarantine period are allowed to do practical in the lab,” he added.
