KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 9
In a departure from virtual classes, Tribhuvan University will be running classes in the physical presence of teachers and students from mid-March.
According to TU's Registrar Prof Peshal Dahal, teaching learning activities of the university had been conducted virtually after the breakout of COVID-19 in the country.
Classes for Bachelor's level will begin physically from mid-March while Masters level classes will run from mid-April, said Prof Dahal.
The classes were run three months later from the beginning of the new academic session, said Dahal, adding that some college affiliated to TU had resumed classes physically after obtaining permission from the local unit.
Dahal reasoned that delay on the part of TU in running classes was due to delay in publishing the results of 10 plus two level. Currently, the TU entrance exams are being held for the new academic session.
He further informed that TU has been taking exams of various levels since November last year. TU plans to publish the results of those exams by mid-April, Established in 1959, the university has 1,124 affiliated colleges. With the COV- ID-19 vaccination drive going on and the situation getting safer, education institutions across the country are considering resuming their teaching learning activities physically.
