Second deadline ends but Mumbai University yet to announce 55 per cent results

The governor had pulled up the Mumbai university authorities over the delay in declaring results.

The Mumbai University missed its second deadline on declaring results of all examinations. With 55 per cent results pending, the Mumbai University failed to declare results on Saturday much to the anger of students.

Students protested as close to 2.32 lakh answer sheets are yet to be evaluated and 79,845 are yet to be moderated. The university was given an extension on deadline from the original July 31 till August 5 by Governor Vidyasagar Rao but the institution failed yet again. As on Saturday, the university has managed to declare results for 265 of the 477 examinations.

24 hours after the deadline, the institution has not set any fresh deadline to declare results making the situation uncertain for the students. The delay in result has already caused much embarrassment to the university that shifted to the online mode this academic year. The delay has impacted students adversely from applying for other courses.

Commerce faculty have been giving a tough time to the university with the highest number of yet-to-be evaluated papers. While more than 2 lakh papers in commerce department are yet to be evaluated, not a single result has been announced from the Law department.

Students had been protesting continuously outside the Mumbai University even as Aditya Thackeray of the Shiv Sena made a representation to the governor. Despite two deadlines by the governor, the University has not been able to announce results.
