Mumbai University Semester Exams 2022 timetable released, leaves students confused

Mumbai University Semester Exams 2022: Mumbai University has released the timetable for the semester exams, however, the circular has left students appearing for the second-semester exam in varied courses run in affiliated colleges confused.

The Mumbai University in a circular has directed all the affiliated colleges to conduct the examinations from May 11. However, several colleges have also released a separate timetable for the exam. After students raised the issue, Mumbai University allowed the colleges to decide on the process. 

While speaking on the same, one of the students said, “The circular clearly states that semester II exams should be held offline and should start from May 11. But my college is starting the exam from April 18." Another student from Santacruz College said the exam is starting on April 23.

Students have been protesting against the University's decision to hold examinations in the offline mode. They had also raised their concerns over the examination being held against the 90-day teaching mandate by the UGC before any examination.

Students have also reached out to the NSUI, which has also written a letter to the authorities regarding the same. Faisal Shaikh, State Vice President of the NSUI, said “If the guidelines were not mandatory for colleges then why to issue such a circular and confuse students?” 

Meanwhile, the colleges are now pointing at the university, which, according to them, should not have released the Mumbai University Examination guidelines 2022 for semester II exams that are held at college levels. “The university issues a timetable only for the final exams,” said the principal of a South Bombay college.

Vinod Patil, Director of the Board of Examinations and Evaluations at the Mumbai University, said, “After the guidelines, some colleges approached us stating that their schedule is already prepared. The colleges were allowed to conduct exams earlier in those cases. But there was no written order regarding this which is now causing confusion,” as reported by Indian Express.
