BAMU Extends Certificate Courses to 1 Year at Paithan Santhpeeth

Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (BAMU) has extended the duration of its certificate courses at Santhpeeth in Paithan to one year.

The decision was made during an online meeting of the BAMU Board of Studies, which was presided over by Vice-Chancellor Dr Vijay Phulari.

The meeting also saw the approval of three new certificate courses, including Sant Namdev Gatha Parichay, Sant Tatvadyan, and Sampradayaik Sangeet.

Currently, Santhpeeth offers five certificate courses, and the addition of these new courses will provide students with more options.

The university also approved the launch of a diploma course in Marathi Language Proofreading under the Department of Marathi Language and Literature.

According to Vice-Chancellor Dr Vijay Phulari, this course is essential due to the growing need for grammatical accuracy and linguistic correctness in various fields.

Revised syllabi for MA programmes in Political Science, Economics, and English, as well as the MSc programme in Physics, were also approved during the meeting.

Some colleges were granted approval to discontinue certain undergraduate, postgraduate, and BVoc courses and introduce new courses approved by the state government.

However, the proposal to implement the 40% passing requirement for law diploma courses retrospectively from the 2025–26 academic year was rejected.

During the meeting, Dr Rajesh Karpe raised questions regarding the recruitment of contractual professors, and Vice-Chancellor Dr Vijay Phulari stated that the vacancies would be filled in August through a written examination and interviews.

The extension of the certificate courses and the addition of new courses will provide students with more opportunities for learning and growth.

This decision is significant for the university and its students, as it will help to improve the quality of education and provide more options for students.

The approval of the diploma course in Marathi Language Proofreading is also a notable development, as it will help to meet the growing need for grammatical accuracy and linguistic correctness in various fields.

Overall, the decisions made during the meeting will have a positive impact on the university and its students, and will help to improve the quality of education and provide more opportunities for learning and growth.
