They will have to submit an undertaking to the chairperson of the department that if the situation demands they will vacate the hostel and leave the university accommodation and students must have been administered both vaccine doses. A negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours will also be required.
Currently, only single room accommodation will be given to students. Guest and visitor entry to hostels will also be banned till further orders.
