BAMU Extends Santhpeeth Certificate Courses to One Year

Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (BAMU) has decided to extend the duration of its certificate courses at Santhpeeth in Paithan from six months to one year.

This decision was made during an online meeting of the BAMU Board of Studies, which was attended by key university officials.

Three new certificate courses were approved, including Sant Namdev Gatha Parichay, Sant Tatvadyan, and Sampradayaik Sangeet.

Additionally, a new diploma course in Marathi Language Proofreading was introduced under the Department of Marathi Language and Literature.

The university also approved revised syllabi for several MA and MSc programs and allowed some colleges to discontinue certain courses and introduce new ones approved by the state government.

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

Concerns were raised about the recruitment of contractual professors, and the Vice-Chancellor assured that vacancies would be filled in August through a written examination and interviews.
