The Khar Education Society (KES), known for alumni like Indira Gandhi, Tina Ambani and S P Godrej, has halted new admissions to its commerce stream due to building safety concerns. This sudden move has left students who secured seats online in confusion, as they were unaware of the issues when they applied.
KES cited deteriorating building conditions and financial strain from COVID-19 as reasons for the closure. Despite this, some argue the building is still in good condition and believe the closure disrupts their education. In May 2024, KES informed authorities of the decision, requesting to be excluded from online admissions for the 2024-25 academic year, stating they need either to build a new facility or rent one.
