Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Asghar Zaidi said the difficult but necessary decisions were taken as precautionary measures because the risk of COVID-19 was rising again. The vice chancellor urged students: "We need to maintain social distancing and follow SOPs to help prevent the spread." Prof Zaidi announced postponing the University's 19th convocation, saying that the convocation was expected to be attended by more than 2,200 graduates besides parents, guests, faculty and staff.
The vice chancellor said the university also decided that exams to start from August 5 would be held online.
