Initially the University had a jurisdiction extending over 12 districts of Western Maharashtra. However, with the establishment of the Shivaji University, Kolhapur, in 1964, the jurisdiction of the University was restricted to 5 districts, namely Pune, Ahmednagar, Nasik, Dhule and Jalgaon. Out of these, two districts – Dhule and Jalgaon are attached to the North Maharashtra University established in August 1990. 

During the year 1949, there were only 18 colleges affiliated to the University, with an enrollment of over 8000 students.
