There are nearly 400 UG colleges in Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed and Osmanabad districts within the jurisdiction of the university.

The colleges offer courses like BA, B Com, B Sc, BCA, BCS, and BBA. Currently, the university implements CBCS for postgraduate courses. However, the UG courses are conducted as usual. The university decided to implement CBCS for UG courses from the new academic year.

The restructuring of the syllabus and examination pattern is being done on war-footing. The first meeting of the Board of Studies (BoS) chairman was held in March. Some of the BoS chairmen are yet to submit the changes in the syllabus and pattern. The final meeting of BoS will be held by month-end.

The new system will be adopted for the first time for UG courses in the university’s history. It will help colleges to get a better grades in NAAC accreditation.
