Along with this, the authority has advised administrative staff, teaching staff and students to take the booster shot of the Covid 19 vaccine. Since the mutants of this virus are spreading continuously, this step will help curb the spread. Vaccination is compulsory for university students living in dorms, else students will have to show a weekly negative PCR test before entering their dorm.
