When the long wait for mark sheets did end, the relief was short-lived as students of Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia and Mass Communication (BAMMC) found the academic documents issued by the Mumbai University to be faulty. Students of M L Dahanukar College of Commerce, Vile Parle, much to their dismay, noticed their mother’s name printed twice on the mark sheets and passing certificates. These flawed mark sheets and passing certificates have to be corrected and again issued by the university, adding to the students’ anxiety.

Sources at Dahanukar college confirmed the blooper. “We had called the students for mark sheet distribution. During the process, it was brought to our notice by a vigilant student that the mothers’ names were printed twice on the mark sheets and passing certificates. A thorough examination of other mark sheets revealed that 99 per cent of the students had the same problem. As these details are set to appear on the students’ convocation certificates, this error could pose problems for those seeking further education, whether abroad or in India,” said the college authorities.
