Mumbai University second semester exams 2022 delayed, Know why
Mumbai University Exams 2022: Mumbai University (MU) faced major flak after it gave the previous year's question paper for the Constitutional Law exam to second semester undergraduate students. This led to about an hour's delay. The exam for the second semester of the Bachelor of Law (LLB) 3-year course was supposed to start at 11 am.
However, as soon as the exam began, and some colleges had distributed the question papers, they were asked by the MU to immediately stop the exam and wait for further instructions.
Mumbai University in an official notification clarified that, “Due to a technical glitch, previous year’s paper was sent to colleges, by mistake, for the paper of Constitutional Law of the second semester of LLB-3-year course. After realising the glitch; a new question paper was immediately sent to colleges. The exam started at noon and students were given adequate additional time to complete the paper.”
“A new question paper was then sent and the exam finally began at noon. As expected, this delay in the first session further delayed the afternoon paper too,” said a professor from a law college in the city, as reported by Indian Express.
While speaking on the same, another professor said that this last-minute changes led to panic in classrooms with many wondering if there had been a paper leak. “We were abruptly asked to not start the exam, without an appropriate reason. Meanwhile, an image of an old question paper started being circulated on mobile phones. It led to many suspecting a paper leak,” said the professor. However, later the clarity was given on what had actually happened, he added.
“After the fiasco in the first session, we were focused on smoothly conducting the second paper. The examinees had to wait for almost an hour for the paper to start,” added another professor.
