Mumbai University irks students for anomalies in online assessment

Mumbai University has vexed a number of students pursuing Master of Laws (LLM) postgraduate programme. They have raised concerns after failing in exams on account of purported errors in the online checking. Students told that they had photocopies of their answer sheets. According to them, their answer sheets reflected that they were not given marks for particular answers. They were also marked erroneously for questions they did not attempt.

According to a student, she was given marks for a question that she had not even attempted. She told that she attempted four questions, each of 25 marks, out of six questions in the subject biological diversity and legal order of semester three of the second year LLM course. She further told that she was given three marks out of 12.5 for question 7A, which she did not even attempt. She attempted question 7B, but she was not marked for that. Rather the university wrote NR (Not Reported) on her marksheet.  NR remark means the student did not attempt the question.

She received overall 34 marks out of 100 in spite of attempting all the questions. She further told that she stood in the top three in her batch and had never failed in any subject. She told that her answer paper was not assessed properly. She had attempted all the questions and written case laws and diagrams to support her answers. Another student of the first year LLM programme from Mumbai University revealed that he failed in two subjects in the last winter semester.
