Revised timetable will clash with other tests, say students
MUMBAI: Delay in announcing results has already forced the University of Mumbai
(MU) to postpone 30 exams from the current semester by a few weeks.
Students are now worried that the delay might affect their academic
plans, especially those who will be appearing for exams in other courses
simultaneously.
After receiving complaints from second-year BCom students about their
fourth semester examinations clashing with Chartered Accountancy (CA)
exams, students of Bachelors in Commerce-Accounting and Finance (BAF)
have raised similar issues. Although their finalyear exams were supposed
to start on April 19, the same will now commence from May 15 and the
last exam coincides with a CA paper.
“Majority of students from the commerce department also pursue CA or
Company Secretary (CS) exams simultaneously with their degree. Year
after year, the university ends up announcing the examination schedule without checking the timetable for other exams,” said a final-year BAF student.
Along with results of various law courses, MU is yet to announce
the results for BAF, which constitutes for less than 9,000 students.
Last week, nearly 150 students protested at the university’s Kalina campus, demanding clarity on their results.
MU announced results of Bachelors in Commerce-Financial Management
(BFM) on Tuesday, and many students were unhappy especially because
they will be appearing for their current semester exams in a week’s
time. “This leaves us with no time to apply for photocopy of answer
booklets and apply for re-evaluation. We won’t get to see the results
until after our exams get over,” said another student.
While those students who have to appear for ATKT exams over the
next few weeks were relieved off the possibility of appearing for two
exams in a day, semester six exams will now be conducted over a period
of three weeks and this irked students.
