Almost one out of every five colleges affiliated with Mumbai University (MU) does not have a full-time principal, as revealed by the varsity administration during the recent senate meeting earlier this week. The data shows that the percentage of colleges affiliated with Mumbai University lacking full-time principals has risen from 25 per cent in 2022 to over 30 per cent in 2024.
According to data provided by MU, out of its 878 currently affiliated colleges, 270 are presently led by ‘in-charge’ or ‘temporary’ principals, of which over 170 colleges have been without regular or full-time principals for over a year now. This situation arises as all Higher Education Institutes (HEI) in the state are working on implementing and executing changes in courses and programs as per the National Education Policy (NEP).
