While Mumbai University has already opened admissions for MA Part II (second year), several students still await their first-year results. As mid-day reported on October 7, nearly 30 of the 86 students enrolled in the MA Geography (Distance Learning) course have yet to receive their Semester I results, even though the exams were held in January. The Semester II exams, conducted in July, are also pending evaluation for all students.

Despite the delays, students have begun paying fees and enrolling for the next academic year, but many are worried about their academic standing. “I’ve been extremely ill this year and have to visit the hospital every week. Due to medical reasons, I skipped the Semester II exams and only attempted Semester I,” said Jayashree W, a 42-year-old student. “But even those results, from exams held in January, are still missing. Now I have to blindly enrol for the next year without knowing how I performed.”
