Hyderabad, July 3 || The University of Hyderabad has formed a task force with twelve faculty members to outline a road map for the resumption of suspended teaching and learning activities for the academic year 2020-21. The university had suspended the academic activities on March 15 to contain the spread of Corona virus.

With this task force, the University is planning to reassure their efforts to sustain the high-quality education among the students while addressing on-campus health and safety concerns and issues related to online learning during the pandemic crisis.

The task force will be headed by Prof Vinod Pavarala, former Dean of the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication. The committee will examine the practical steps for starting the classes for ongoing students as well as for those who will be joining the University this academic year. The task force will examine and recommend a range of teaching methods incorporating face-to-face, online, and various  modes of delivery of course content.

The task force will recommend appropriate measures to upgrade the institution's ICT infrastructure to be compatible with online education. The task force will also examine the scheduling and mode of the University's annual entrance examination held across the country for admission to its post-graduate and research programmes.

The last date for submitting applications for this year's admissions was June 30, 2020. Further, the task force has been asked to monitor the implementation of the decisions taken by the University on the above-mentioned matters and will remain operational until December 31, 2020.
