Mumbai: University of Mumbai (MU) on Tuesday warned colleges and recognised educational institutions of cancelling affiliation for delay in submitting admission documents. Several colleges, including those of Anjuman-I-Islam and KJ Somaiya, and also colleges like Rizvi and Thakur, will not be eligible to grant admissions in the 2025 cycle if they fail to submit necessary admission documents of their students in a month’s time.
In 2022-23 alone, as many as 47,610 admission documents have not been submitted by the defaulting institutes to MU. In 2019-20, the number of unsubmitted admission details were at 14,452, in 2020-21 it was 12,281, and in 2021-22 it was 22,900.
The issue extends beyond mere administrative negligence, with a detailed report revealing that several prominent institutions have failed to fulfil compliance over multiple academic years.
For example, Anjuman-I-Islam’s M.H. Saboo Siddik College of Engineering had 23 provisional admissions pending resolution in 2019-20, while Rizvi College of Architecture had nine cases in 2022-23. Similarly, Thakur College of Engineering and Technology recorded over 150 provisional admissions in its Civil Engineering and related courses in the same period.
