MUMBAI: More than three months after their exams, BCom (Accounting and Finance) and LLB students are still awaiting their results. Several papers from these courses are pending for assessment. College principals are now worried that the pending results could affect the exams that are to start in less than a fortnight.
Just 338 of the 402 exams conducted by the university have been announced till date; most of the pending results are for law and post-graduation courses.
On Wednesday, the university announced Semester-V BMM results after more than three months of the exam. “Assessment of BMM papers was completed a while ago. We don’t know what took the university so long to declare the results. It is now reaching out to colleges, asking them to appoint teachers for assessment of BAF papers. These exams were held in November. Although there are no major glitches in the online system at present, scheduling of multiple exams and the university’s failure to take serious action against teachers who do not participate in assessment work seems to be the problem now,” said a principal.
“Despite all the government machinery working on the examination process at the university, the administration has failed to deliver results on time. The current fiasco will definitely impact the final results too, and subsequently the admissions. The university has not even released the timetable for all exams till now. The administration has not planned the dates of commencement of exams well,” said a teacher.
The teachers’ union is likely to raise the issue in the senate meeting scheduled for March 30 and 31. The senate meeting with all elected representatives will be held after three years.
A principal said the university should have scheduled the exams for first- and second-year students before starting with final-year papers. “The repeaters’ exams for arts, science, commerce and law could have been scheduled later. With the results not being announced on time, the university may have to postpone ATKT exams. Some of the law ATKT exams are scheduled for the first week of April. With assessment still pending, it may be difficult for the university to conduct exams as per schedule,” she said.
A university official said they are confident of not delaying the final results this time. “We have already eliminated glitches in the online assessment process. Teachers are not available for assessment of papers in law and some of the self-financed courses. We are requesting colleges to allot teachers to complete the pending assessment work. The final results will not be as delayed as was the case last year,” said the official.
