Colleges in Maharashtra that have failed to obtain accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) or whose accreditation status is inactive or expired now face the risk of losing their university affiliation. In a sternly-worded warning letter dated September 4, the director of higher education has given universities a three-day deadline (until September 7) to submit a report detailing the action taken against such institutes.
In the letter to registrars of all non-agricultural universities across the state, Director of Higher Education Dr Shailendra Deolankar has issued instructions to collate data of such colleges and submit a list of names of those which have failed to start the process of obtaining accreditation, failed to obtain accreditation/reaccreditation or have inactive/expired accreditation by the beginning of the first year admission process. The universities, in an order dated May 23, 2023, were asked to take action against such institutions as prescribed under the Maharashtra State Public Universities Act, 2016, which suggests de-affiliating the colleges.
