Jamia Millia Islamia offline classes, exams resume November 02

Jamia Millia Islamia will resume offline classes and conduct mid and end-semester examinations for its undergraduate and postgraduate students starting November 02, 2026. This decision, announced via a FindMyCollege notification, marks a further step towards the full return to physical learning at the central university.

The university had previously initiated a phased reopening, with physical classes for final year postgraduate students resuming on March 02, 2026, and for final year undergraduate students in mid-March 2026. First and second-year undergraduate students, as well as first-year postgraduate students, had continued their studies through online classes until this latest announcement.

Resumption of Offline Learning and Examination Schedule

The upcoming resumption of offline classes on November 02, 2026, will encompass both undergraduate and postgraduate students, alongside the scheduled mid and end-semester examinations. This move follows earlier advisories for deans to ensure renovation, maintenance, and repair works of classrooms and laboratories were completed before classes commenced. Additionally, three dry canteens at the university were reopened on March 02, 2026, with the registrar’s permission.

The fee structure for 2026 remains consistent with previous years, with hostel and food charges being additional where applicable. Students in Class I to VIII are subject to some additional annual charges collected at the time of admission.

Jamia Millia Islamia officially commenced admissions for the academic session 2026-27 on February 20, 2026. The application process for most programmes concluded on March 25, 2026. However, applications for programmes that rely on national test scores such as CUET, JEE Main, NATA, NEET, and NCET will remain open following the respective result announcements.
