The university announced that all lectures will be conducted online following ongoing protests on its Delhi campus.
On October 24, 2024, Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi announced that it would move all its academic sessions to an online format. The decision came after a series of protests erupted on the university grounds, prompting administrators to prioritize the safety of students and staff.
The university issued an official notice stating that the shift to virtual classes would be effective immediately, ensuring that the academic calendar remains uninterrupted. Faculty members were instructed to upload lecture materials and conduct live sessions through the institution's digital platforms.
Students were advised to stay updated via the university's portal and official communication channels. The administration also indicated that it would monitor the situation closely and consider a phased return to campus once the protests subside.
Authorities emphasized that the move is a temporary measure aimed at maintaining educational continuity while addressing the concerns raised by the demonstrators.
The university’s swift transition to online teaching reflects a broader trend among Indian higher‑education institutions to adapt quickly to on‑ground disruptions.
