Hello aspirant,

The state have the authority to open schools and colleges from October 15 however Maharashtra government have decided not to open schools and colleges till diwali and to continue online classes as of now.

The Institutions can decide whether to open or do not open the colleges especially for lab activities for research students as the covid situation is still high.

Till now there is no notification to open colleges on Nov. 2 and the state is promoting virtual classrooms till the pandemic is clear.

Hope this information helps

Thanks
