Guwahati: Secondary students from two leading state engineering colleges, Jorhat Engineering College (JEC) and the Jorhat Institute of Science & Technology (JIST), are being planned from offline classes due to confusion about the government’s order about the reopening of the institution.
Hostel.
Only student technology students end, for whom the hostel has been reopened, attending the physical class.
Even though online education is underway, some students are uncomfortable by teaching and more like in-people.
The command issued by the State Education Department on October 21 stated that in connection with students from all semesters and high school classes, PG colleges, universities and technical institutions, who will stay in hostels, a quick antigen test will be mandatory before entering the dormitory.
The order said the direction came into effect on November 1 itself.
However, the reopening step of the hostel comes with motorists —— Covid’s peposititivity level in the district must be less than 2%.
The main secretary to the Ministry of Education Assam, B Kalyan Chakravarthy, told TOI that from November 1 all hostels in the state have been left open.
“From class 1 to higher classes there are no sidewalks,” Chakravarthy said, adding that the question of not reopening the hostel wherever in the state did not appear.
Principal JEC Reeta Sarmah said the offline class was only possible for students last year.
“We are a housing agency.
In accordance with the direction of the government we continued online education for intermediary students.
They are not resident hostels.
The last year students are in the hostel and join the physical class,” he added.
Because most students from state college techniques live in hostels on campus, hostel closures for intermediary students have also seized them from offline classes.
The interpretation of government and SOP interpretations has affected the study of engineering students because for many of their poor internet connectivity and the lack of proper digital infrastructure has become an obstacle.
