The letter from the Director-General of the department refers to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) guidelines wherein students from classes 9 to 12 are allowed to visit schools from September 21 on voluntary basis for taking guidance from their teachers with their parents' consent.
Keeping this in view, the universities and colleges may also be allowed to open for students seeking guidance from teachers in a staggered manner, the letter read.
All protocols recommended by the government, including for sanitisation and social distancing, shall be followed by the institutions, as per the letter.

In view of the coronavirus-induced lockdown, educational institutes across the country have switched to online mode to impart academic lessons.
