NASHIK: The Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) has recommended a list of 26 colleges that have applied to open undergraduate courses during the academic year 2015-16. The proposals of five colleges have been rejected for not filling the necessary criteria.
However, the university administration claims the colleges will only be able to start from the next academic year (2016 -17) as procedures and permission from the state and central council would take at least another year.
There has been only one nursing college which has been able to seek permission from the state and central government. If all the recommended colleges get the nod, it would create at least 1,300 additional seats.
Registrar of the university, Kashinath Garkal, said that applications for opening colleges or starting a new course are supposed to be made by the institutions by October 31, after the notification is issued. "The colleges have to comply with the norms mentioned in the prospective plan according to the different parameters mentioned in them. The colleges are considered according to the population nearby and infrastructural aspects which are considered and recommended to the state government once the university is satisfied," he said.
Garkal said that the institution also has to get permission from the central council and state government which have independent heads for different categories. "The proposal again comes to MUHS for final consent. Officials recheck the facilities and infrastructure that was mentioned during the first application. An affiliation committee is set up to check the facts and the academic council approves it. It is only after this that the college can start functioning," he added.
He said the process is lengthy it would be another year before any of these colleges are be able to start the courses.
"So far, a nursing college, the Anand Charitable Trust, Anand Hospital, from Vaijapur, has been able to seek permission from state government and central council. The process of giving the final consent will begin," he said.
Five applications have been received for medical colleges, one for a dental college, two each for Ayurveda, Bachelor of Paramedical Technology (BPMT) and homeopathy colleges, six for physiotherapy and eight for nursing.
At present there are 35 medical colleges, 28 dental, 62 Ayurveda, 6 Unani, 45 homeopathy, and 155 colleges of allied health sciences, which amounts to 331 institutes across the state.
