Mumbai government has received a nod to reopen and resume offline classes from tomorrow.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, BMC has given a go-ahead and has even issued guidelines for all Colleges, taking into account the COVID-19 safety protocols. This would mean that Mumbai University Colleges reopening would begin and students can come to campus for offline lectures.

Mumbai Colleges will be reopening after being closed for more than a year or since the pandemic began. Even though some classes resumed in rural parts in February, the full-fledged reopening of Colleges in all of Mumbai will only begin from tomorrow. As the guidelines have been issued, it has also come to light that most colleges would begin this reopening for Postgraduate, PG students.

Students and stakeholders are informed that they must wait for a nod from their respective college as well before coming back to campus. Even though BMC has approved of this, there could be a possibility that Colleges might take their own time to commence reopening due to preparations.

1.       Classes would be filled only up to 50% capacity at a time.  

2.       As of now, it is advisable to only allow fully vaccinated students to come back to campus for offline classes. However, when it comes to students who are below 18, this rule will not apply.  

3.       In case students are still unvaccinated but want to come for offline classes, it is the responsibility of college Principal to contact the nearest ward office and set up a special camp for vaccination in college premises.  

4.       Attendance has not been made mandatory yet and students can opt to continue online classes.  

5.       Teaching would be done in blended mode i.e., both online and offline.  
Mumbai Colleges will be reopening initially for PG students. Even though there are no specific rules in place for that, most colleges plan on calling back PG students first and continue this reopening in phases. Detailed guidelines on reopening of hostels in the city will also be released soon.
