DU debunks Fake News about Offline Classes
Earlier, Delhi University (DU) has debunked a fake notification that has been making rounds on social media. In the fake notice, it was stated that UG and PG courses will resume from 4th October 2021. This is not the first time that DU ridiculed a fake notice about the resumption of offline classes. The varsity fact-checked the misleading claims about the reopening of the campus. With the increase in circulation of fake news relating to DU, stakeholders might see the notice on social media. Thus, all stakeholders should follow the official verified social media handles of DU. The University reopened its campus in a phased manner from 15th September 2021. The University decided to transit into the blended online-offline mode of teaching and learning in a phased manner.
