Panaji: The new academic year 2021-22 for around 23,000 students at General Stream College will begin on September 1, mostly through online mode.
Higher Education, based on direction from the Higher Education Directorate, has begun preparation for physical classes.
But because the arrangement for offline classes is still made, physical sessions will only start this weekend or early next week.
Even when physical classes begin, most colleges will do them only for third year students.
Some will hold offline classes for second year students too.
But most physical sessions give priority to third-year students only.
Classes for lower classes will be held after a review of the physical session is held at the end of September.
The majority of the Institutes will begin by focusing on solving practices for third-year students, because they cannot be done online.
Priority will also be given to teach relatively difficult subjects such as mathematics, economics, accounting, etc., during physical classes.
Physical classes will be limited to 50% batches of class capacity to ensure social distance is maintained.
“We will urge all the third students to come to the offline class when they are called, because this will be very useful for them.
But if some students are hesitant, the recorded lecture will be available for them.
The Directorate of Higher Education has also been uploaded by registered teaching videos For almost all undergraduate subjects on the online platform, “said a college.
