In a major post-Covid step towards normalising academic activities on campus, the University of Hyderabad (UoH) has decided to permit an additional 2000 students to return to the campus. The move marks a major phase in reopening the university campus for enabling in-person academic activities.

A statement issued on Thursday noted, "The Vice Chancellor has approved the recommendations of the task force headed by professor Vinod Pavarala to permit the return of all terminal semester post-graduate students who will complete their respective programmes and graduate in June. Additionally, all Ph.D. students, except those who joined in 2020-21, can come back to resume their research work on campus. For now, all Master's students who joined the University in 2020 will continue to have online classes. The return will be entirely voluntary and the University will continue teaching-learning activities online for those who wish to remain at their homes."
