On Wednesday, August 26, the members of the University of Mumbai senate approved 36 colleges for the academic year 2021-2022.
Currently, the University of Mumbai has more than 823 affiliated colleges spread across the city and the state.
On August 25, the annual senate meeting for approval of the new perspective plan was conducted virtually in lieu of the coronavirus. This plan which happens annually has laid out locations for the proposed new affiliated colleges in view of the five-year perspective plan under the university.
As per the data shared by Mumbai University (MU), the 36 fresh colleges are to include 16 traditional colleges, three hotel management, six law colleges, one night and one social work college each, two hospitality colleges and one college each for integrated education, physical education and sports.
Earlier, MU had issued guidelines for conducting online classes in view of the pandemic. In a bid to conduct the process smoothly, teachers were asked to divide each subject into four quadrants, which are video lectures, specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded and printed, self-assessment tests through tests and quizzes and an online discussion forum to clear all doubts of students who are being taught through this e-learning method.
Back in the first week of August, MU had released a circular stating that except for first-year undergraduate and postgraduate graduate courses, colleges should start e-learning for the new academic year.
