All the 21 engineering colleges affiliated to the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (BAMU) have decided to get accreditation from National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The decision was taken at the management council meeting on Friday.

Around 35 subjects were discussed in the meeting. "A committee has been set up to address the complaints about lack of facilities in the hostels. The committee will review and suggest the necessary steps to be taken in each hostel, "said Sanjay Shinde, public relations officer at the university.

Shinde said that the work order for the e-tender that had been floated to start the construction of minority girls hostel had been released and the work will commence soon. "Around Rs 4 crore have been sanctioned by the state government, "he said.

Considering the water shortage faced by the drought affected region, the university has decided to conduct exams of the summer semester a fortnight before the regular schedule. There will be less number of gaps between two papers and the syllabus for all the courses will be finished early by undertaking extra lectures, he added.

Shinde said the council had also decided to install Wi-Fi facilities on the university as well as Osmanabad sub centre campus.

The vice chancellor, Vijay Pandharipande will review the changes in the PhD process as suggested by the Board of Colleges and University Development (BCUD), M S Shingare.

It was also decided to forward the proposal of new engineering college planned by the Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Shikshan Sanstha to the state government and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). A new M.Phil course will also be conducted during vacations on credit based grading system.
