Yuva Sena activists and former Senate members of Mumbai University staged a sit-in protest inside the office of the director of examinations at the Kalina campus on Thursday, holding him up in his own office for around two hours. The protest ended only after the director of examinations and his staff resolved the problems of as many as 13 students.
Examination season at Mumbai University, for the past decade, has been a time of pandemonium and anxiety for thousands of students. The university’s reputation has been damaged due to repeated glaring errors in question papers, wrong papers being dispatched to the exam centres and centre allocation goof-ups. The delay in announcing results and issuing hall tickets has become a regular affair at Mumbai University. The result time proves to be stressful too, with delays in the announcement of results every year. Seeking photocopies of answer sheets and applying for revaluation is also a herculean task. Students have even reported errors in their mark sheets.
