Mumbai: St Xavier’s College has set up a committee to review options for increasing classes by running them in shifts. The 155-year-old institute in south Mumbai plans to add several courses but is hampered given the
space constraints
on the premises of the heritage structure.
Running the postgraduate and undergraduate courses or aided and unaided courses in two shifts seem feasible.
Currently, most courses at the college start around 7am- 8am, including junior and degree sections, while a few PG courses start after noon.
Loyola College in Chennai, for instance, works in two shifts — for aided and unaided courses. Some of Mumbai colleges, too, run the junior college section in the afternoon and degree in the morning.
