The BMC back in November decided to keep all schools across the city closed till December 31. However, the Maharashtra government had earlier allowed Classes 9 to 12 to reopen from November 23, 2020.
Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, schools all across India, affiliated to CBSE, CISCE or state boards have been closed since the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. However, despite the closure, schools have been teaching in online/offline blended mode for completion of the syllabus.

However, as of now, no such intimation has been received by any college.
