Mumbai University defers LLM exams to June 1; check details here

The varsity took the decision after several students complained that the admission to the course is still going on and there is not enough time for them between the admission process and the exams. 

The University of Mumbai (MU) has announced that it has deferred the LLM (Master of Laws) exam till June 1. The exam was earlier scheduled to start on May 17. The varsity took the decision after several students complained that the admission to the course is still going on and there is not enough time for them between the admission process and the exams. 

According to the report, the students were confused with the university’s decision to hold exams on May 17 and they reached the examination department to get clarity. The exam schedule would have affected at least 800 students across six LLM divisions of MU, it said.

To accommodate the demands of students, the exam department postponed the exam, said the report citing a spokesperson of the department. Although the exam has been pushed to June, the students are not happy as the revised schedule does not provide breaks between the exams, the report said.
“We have been telling the university that we need gaps between exams. We never asked for a postponement,” the report stated Sachin Pawar, president of Student Law Council, as saying.

Another LLM student told the publication that “our online classes have barely started and we are already staring at an exam schedule with no breaks in between.”

In 2013, the University Grants Commission (UGC), had given permission for all degree programmes in universities, allowed a one-year master’s programme in law (LLM). This was a part of a plan to revamp legal education and bring it on par with international standards.
