A 21-year-old student has filed a writ petition against his college and the university after being denied a hall ticket for not having a Permanent Registration Number (PRN). The third-year BA student at a South Mumbai college, enrolled in 2022-23 and now in his final year (2025-26), claims the lapse has blocked his exams.
Late registration
According to the petition, the college failed to submit his details to the university at the time of admission. The student admitted he did not provide the required documents due to “personal emergencies” and “confusion about the deadlines.”
