Hi Naresh,

There isn't any confirmation but speculations. These decisions are generally taken by the Home Ministry.

If universities fail to open by that time, freshers will begin their college education online. And this will continue untill year end.

In order to compensate for the loss of academic time, the UGC has asked colleges to teach six days a week and shorten the winter break this year and the summer break next year.

“The universities are requested to compensate the delay in the start of the academic session in the subsequent years by curtailing the breaks/vacations so that this batch of students would get their final results for the timely award of degree,” the guidelines said.

Hope this helps!
