Varsity hopes to declare results in June; principals think it is ‘farfetched’

MUMBAI: As assessment of answer papers for traditional courses is moving at a steady pace, University of Mumbai (MU) officials said they hope to announce results in June. However, principals and teachers have called it a “farfetched” decision. 

The university’s decision to delay the summer examinations by a few weeks has messed up the assessment period. Most teachers are on vacation, as they were busy supervising exams till May 10.

“At present, only those teachers who are in the city are assessing papers,” said Anju Kapoor, principal of UPG College, Vile Parle. 

For certain courses, including Bachelors in Mass Media (BMM), BCom (Accounting Finance), etc., teachers are yet to finish registration process to become eligible to access On-Screen Marking (OSM) assessment system. 

“We have also complained to the university that despite several attempts, some of us have not managed to finish the registration process. We are wasting our time in this process while answer sheets are waiting to be assessed,” said a teacher. 

The university, however, still insists it are on the right track. “As of now our focus is on the courses with the highest concentration of students — BCom, BA and BSc. We hope to announce all these results by mid-June,” said Vinod Malale, deputy registrar (public relations), MU.
