Hello Aspirant,

Yes the guidelines for Unlock 5.0 will be followed till November but for colleges and schools Indian Government handed over the decision on state governments so now reopening of schools and colleges will be decided by state government as per the current scenario of that area. As we know that now in Maharashtra cases are gradually decreasing and the circumstances are becoming favorable and the Maharashtra government has decided to keep the schools and colleges closed till October 31st as a preventional measure and if we discuss about the latest UGC Guidelines then it clearly states that from November 1st or 2nd new session should be started for first year students either in online made or offline mode whichever will be most convenient as per the situation and for other years' students the colleges will be reopened as per the situations of locality with the options of online as well as offline studies. There is no any news regarding reopening of schools and colleges in Maharashtra. As of now online classes system has been adopted by almost all institutions.

I hope this information cleared your doubts.

Good Luck!!
