Bengaluru: Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) has decided to go ahead and allow students to return to campus. But with conditions and one of them is availing medical insurance. 

After the lockdown was lifted, the premier institute made plans to allow students to return in phases, but on June 29, the administration told students not to return after a campus resident tested positive. However, IISc., has now decided to allow senior students to return. 

Officials say they have told returning students that they must procure medical insurance and reminded them that the institute provides group medical insurance. Students must discuss their dates of return with their professors. 

If students return out of turn, they will not be allowed into their hostel rooms and would have to figure out alternative accommodation, either off campus or in paid accommodation on campus if it is available.  The administration has said it has made arrangements to quarantine students in the event that a student or other resident tests positive.
