Teachers of colleges affiliated to the Mumbai University (MU) are in a fix with the varsity granting just about a week's extension to finish the first year syllabus and conduct the examinations of all courses by January 9, 2021. The Bombay University and College Teachers' Union (BUCTU) had written to the varsity seeking a month's extension, even though that doesn't fulfil the 90-day requirement of completing the syllabus, as classes started late due to the pandemic.

Questioning the circular issued by the varsity on Monday, teachers said that none of the colleges had met the 90-day requirement of completing the syllabus before exams due to delayed admissions and classes.
