While speaking about the same, a university official said efforts were taken to include questions that needed understanding of concepts. “We are hoping to get slightly more realistic results,” said the official as reported by TOI.

While speaking about the question bank, a college principal said there were a few errors in the Financial Accounting questions and in some others, the multiple choices were incorrect.

The university official said there could have been a problem while drawing questions and the positions of the options may have changed. “The colleges had the option of choosing 50 questions from 250. So, it should not have been a problem,” said the official. He added that the university did not receive any complaints.

Earlier, Mumbai University directed all autonomous colleges to provide extra time to students to complete their exams. The move came after several students protested against the decision to conduct examinations in offline mode. In a circular, the varsity asked the colleges to keep ample breaks between two exams and to ensure that timings are suitable for students to travel conveniently.
