Maharashtra government has decided to reopen the colleges in the state with 50 percent occupancy from February 15. State higher and technical education Minister Uday Samant said on Wednesday.
He also announced that the rule of minimum 75% attendance will be waived off for this year in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Samant had called a meeting of vice-chancellors of the universities on Monday to discuss the resumption of offline lectures. He had asked the VCs to come up with a plan for the same.
He had also asked them to discuss the issues over the difficulties in resuming physical classes with all the teaching and non-teaching staff.
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, who is also the chancellor of all the universities in the state, had last week also called a meeting of all the vice-chancellors to review annual audit, filling up vacant posts and preparations of the universities for starting physical classes.
