To make up for the loss of academic time, the UGC had asked universities to teach six days a week and shorten winter break this year and summer break next year. In a notice issued last month, UGC said, “All universities can follow a 6-day weekly pattern for the 2020-21 and 2021-2022 academic sessions to make up for the loss of this group of students.”
