After months of delayed results, missing professors, and administrative chaos, Maharashtra’s Higher Education Minister Dada Patil has drawn a clear deadline: December. That’s when all pending issues; from exam results to vacant faculty posts; will be wrapped up. And the good news? Professor hiring starts now; and wraps in just 3 months. This isn’t just another promise. The minister himself stood in front of graduating students and made it public. Students who considered transferring out? You might want to hold off; the university’s going digital, and this time, tech isn’t just for paperwork; it’s meant to fix your grades, your syllabus, and your future. Oh, and there’s a surprise: a new statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is ready on campus; set to be unveiled by CM Fadnavis. Plus, a quiet but powerful move; the state is collecting data on daughters of single mothers in universities to give them targeted support. Education isn’t just about degrees; it’s about who gets a fair shot. And BATU’s about to become a case study in how to fix a broken system; fast.
