Summer vacation for 2020-21 will be from July 1 to July 31 and the next academic session will commence from August 2, 2021. UGC has also asked the universities to follow six-days week pattern to compensate for the loss of studies. Along with this UGC also asked the universities to develop virtual classrooms and train all teacher in using the technology. "In order to overcome such challenges in future, the faculty should be adequately trained for the use of ICT and online teaching tools, so that they complete about 25% of the syllabus through online teaching and 75% syllabus through face to face teaching," says UGC.
