The Mumbai University on November 27 held the semester-III examination of a paper, which came as a sweet surprise for the students of Pillai College of Engineering, Panvel, but left thousand others angry. Wednesday's second-year questions were the ones the Pillion College students had attempted in their unit test in October.

While the issue raised questions about the MU's examination system, other students from the university complained about the unfairness caused by the copy-paste blunder. The students realised about the university's mistake only after the examination for the 80 marks Material Technology question paper was over.
