Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University Halts B.Sc. Admissions Due to Deficiencies
Suspension of B.Sc. Admissions at SRTMU
SRTMU Update: Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, situated in Nanded, Maharashtra, has decided to suspend first-year B.Sc. admissions for the 2026-27 academic year across 24 affiliated colleges. This action comes after significant deficiencies were identified in both academic and administrative practices at these institutions.
The Academic Affiliation Department of the university reported that inspections uncovered a lack of essential laboratory facilities in many colleges offering B.Sc. programs. University officials announced on Monday that numerous colleges had not appointed qualified teaching staff or principals, and some failed to submit necessary proposals for online academic and administrative audits.
Inspection Findings
The university's investigation highlighted that many colleges did not have the required laboratory facilities for the B.Sc. curriculum. Additionally, several institutions had not appointed qualified educators or principals. Many colleges also neglected to submit the required documentation for online audits in a timely manner.
As a result of these findings, first-year B.Sc. admissions have been suspended at 24 colleges located in the Nanded, Hingoli, Latur, and Parbhani districts. The university has made it clear that no new admissions will be allowed until these colleges address the identified deficiencies and meet the necessary standards.
Admissions on Hold Until Standards Are Met
Officials indicated that this suspension applies to colleges that either failed the inspection or received an 'F' grade during evaluations. Due to the absence of essential facilities and adherence to standards, first-year B.Sc. admissions at these institutions will remain on hold until the necessary improvements are made.
The university has advised students and parents to verify the accreditation, laboratory facilities, and official status of colleges before seeking admission. This decision aims to uphold the quality of higher education and ensure a better academic environment for students.
