After being closed for almost a month, Maharashtra Colleges are scheduled to reopen from February 1, 2022. To be noted that the colleges will be reopened for all intermediate, undergraduate, and post-graduate students. This decision was announced on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 by the state government. It was announced around 8 pm that students will be able to take offline classes now.
To be noted that the colleges were closed considering the situation of COVID in state. The reopening decision was announced by State Higher and Technical Education Minister Uday Samant. The Minister took to Twitter to announce that colleges in Maharashtra can resume offline teaching from the mentioned date. He submitted the proposal to the CM and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray accepted the proposal of allowing this.
Only fully vaccinated students allowed for offline class
Maharashtra CM has agreed to reopen the classes with few conditions. In Maharashtra, vaccination has been made mandatory. Therefore, now with this reopening, only fully vaccinated students will be allowed to come to campus on the dates given by colleges.
Another thing that is to be considered is that State Higher and Technical Education Minister Uday Samant has clarified that Maharashtra Colleges reopening decision also rests with local administration and bodies. In case somebody doesn’t want to resume offline classes, they can take a call to not do so. It is not mandatory to attend offline classes. Students who have not been fully vaccinated will have to continue with online classes. Maharashtra Colleges have also been asked to continue with online exams for papers scheduled till February 15, 2022. However, for papers scheduled on a later date, colleges can take a call if they want to have online/offline exams.
