(File) Mumbai University (MU) has announced the reopening of all its hostels for students’ convenience. Students who are fully vaccinated can apply for hostel accommodation. They will also have to submit a negative RT-PCR report and parents’ consent at the time of admission.
A letter was issued in this regard by the Registrar of the Mumbai University on Friday evening. The process for reopening will start on February 14.
This comes as a major relief for several students, especially those from the interiors of Maharashtra who come to Mumbai for higher education. Registrar of MU, Sudhir Puranik, said, “Letters will be sent to all MU departments to begin the process following which students can start applying. While students who are pursuing research or PhD will be given preference, second in priority would be those in Semester II and IV as their exams are approaching.”
