TEACHERS WANT MU EXAMS TO BE RESCHEDULED
MUMBAI: The Bombay University and College Teachers’ Union (BUCTU) has asked the University of Mumbai
(MU) to reschedule the semester examinations. MU had recently announced
the date of commencement of all courses while specific time-tables of
all courses are still awaited.
“The university has announced the dates for theory papers without giving enough time to colleges to conduct practical examinations first. This means they will have to be conducted in May, which is unfair to teachers as well as students,” said Madhu Paranjape, general secretary of BUCTU. While Allowed-To-Keep-Term (ATKT) exams are afoot, the first of the exams for fresh candidates will begin on April 3.

Many teachers are also angry about once again giving up on their
vacation this year for assessment of papers. “When the first and
second-year exams were still conducted, we could finish their assessment
before starting work on third-year papers. However, we’ve worked
through Diwali and Christmas vacations last year and now, the May
holidays too will be usurped by the university,” said a teacher on condition of anonymity.
Officials from the examinations department of MU said they are ready to look into the teachers’ complaints, however, they haven’t received any.
