The University of Mumbai‘s Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE) has begun facing roadbumps in the maiden voyage of its new National Education Police (NEP)-integrated master’s courses. Nearly 30 of the 86 students from the MA Geography distance courses have still not received the results of their Semester I exams, which were conducted in January.

In the meantime, students have already appeared for their Semester II examinations in July and are about to enter the next year of their course. With their results in limbo, nearly half the class strength remains oblivious to their academic progress. “The results are especially important for me because I hope to take the UGC NET examination this December. However, the exam registration requires students to present their Masters’ scores,” said a 22-year-old student from Mumbai.
