Mumbai University denies affiliation to 30 law colleges, ahead of admissions
Mumbai: Days before the commencement of the centralised admission process (CAP) for law courses, Mumbai University has denied affiliation to 30 law colleges. It has around 110 affiliated law colleges.
The decision to withhold affiliation certificates, which could keep the colleges out of the state-conducted CAP rounds, was taken following recommendations by local inspection committees . The committees found that the colleges failed to appoint regular principals and adequate teaching staff, and other essential infrastructure required under university and Bar Council of India norms .
The colleges were granted conditional affiliation even last year and were expected to fix the deficiencies. Since the colleges failed to fulfil the norms, the university declined to renew their affiliation for the current academic year. The move is expected to reduce the total intake for three-year and five-year law programmes by around 2,000 seats, said the students’ organisation. The last day to apply for three-year LLB is July 8. Over 50,000 students have already registered for the process.
