The University of Mumbai, already under fire for its handling of PhD student issues, now faces fresh heat from its own professors over delayed RRC (Research Recognition Committee) results.

RRCs, held multiple times a year, review students’ research proposals and applications from faculty members seeking guideship. While MU conducted its last RRC in December 2024, many teachers are still awaiting results eight months later — even as the university has already begun holding new RRCs for the fresh academic year.
