Mumbai University Results 2017 misses Independence day deadline

The University has already missed two deadlines

Students had to spend India's 70th Independence Day in anxiety as there was further delay in announcing Mumbai university results 2017. The institution has now missed its third deadline. Change of authority has made little difference to the unfortunate delay in announcing results.

Close to 140 results were yet to be declared as on Monday. Results for commerce, law, and arts are yet to be declared. More than 1.5 lakh answer sheets, as on Monday, were yet to be evaluated while almost 50,000 papers are yet to be moderated. On Monday, students rushed to Kalina campus of the university in anticipation of confidential results.

Mumbai University Vice Chancellor, Dr Sanjay Deshmukh, who is currently on leave had set August 15 a deadline for declaration of results. The institute has not been able to meet the third deadline as well. Previously the university had missed two deadlines set by Maharashtra Governor Vidyasagar Rao.

Mumbai university sets up task force

Given the delay in announcing results, Mumbai University's in-charge VC Devanand Shinde has decided to set up a task force. The task force will speed up the process of providing confidential results to students. Confidential results are provided to students in sealed covers and are meant for the consumption of other universities or companies where student have applied for higher studies or jobs. The task force will expedite the results of students seeking admission to national and international universities.

The task force will include four teachers and one official and will coordinate with individual students to ensure confidential results to each. The desk will help students who require results to apply for higher education and job opportunities. The acting vice chancellor said that all measures have been taken to announce error-free results at the earliest. Multiple technical glitches that were delaying the process of evaluation have been set right now, University authorities said.
