Final-year exams in Mumbai University to begin from October 1

the University also stated that the exams for ATKT (allowed to keep term) students will begin from September 25

The University of Mumbai (MU) is all set to conduct the final-year examinations for students of all colleges affiliated between October 1 and October 17. Meanwhile, via an official circular released by MU on Wednesday, i.e. September 8, 2020, the University said exams for ATKT (allowed to keep term) students will begin from September 25. According to the report, around 40 clusters of colleges based on the courses they provide – traditional courses, management, engineering, architecture, teacher’s training, physical education, law, pharmacy and fine arts, among others are set up in order to devise timetable.

Each cluster will have one college in the lead or as the leader. The timetable will remain uniform for students from all colleges belonging to a particular cluster.

The media reports suggest that nearly 2,22,581 MU students are slated to appear for 158 exams across Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Ratnagiri, Thane and Raigad. The exams will be conducted online in the multiple-choice questionnaire mode, for 50 marks, with the time limit of one hour. As reported earlier, only the portion of the syllabus taught until March 13 will be considered for the exams.

Students who do not have resources to appear of the examination would be assisted by colleges that are asked to seek help from the local administration. In areas where it is not possible to conduct exams online, colleges are allowed to conduct offline tests.

Meeting apps such as Zoom, Google Meet, Skype and others would be used to conduct Practical exams or viva voce online. However, the reports suggest that a phone call can also become a designated medium. Colleges have been asked to prepare a question bank for oral and theory exams. Given the format of the exam, the option for revaluation will not be allowed.

Further, colleges have been directed to collect details of students who are in their final years and offer counseling to address their concerns.

Students must know that colleges that have conducted practical, oral or internal exams in February or early March, do not need to conduct them again. Similarly, in case backlog exams have been conducted at colleges for ATKT students, no re-exam needs to be conducted.
