MU Exams 2022: Mumbai University mulling to hold summer exams 2022 in online mode

Mumbai University is likely to conduct the summer 2022 examination for students in online mode considering the pandemic situation in the country.

With the number of COVID-19 cases and Omicron scare rising up, the University of Mumbai (MU) is mulling to conduct the MU Summer 2022 semester examination in online mode. Mumbai University has decided to put its decision to conduct the examination in offline mode on hold for now, as per the reports.

“Since colleges reopened and classes were being held in the hybrid mode, many stakeholders thought of conducting the summer 2022 examination in the offline mode. But due to increasing cases, MU might have to stick to online exams yet again,” a University official told HT.  He also informed that before MU takes a final call on the same, the advice of the expert committee will be taken into consideration.

"We are expecting a response from the state higher education department about the mode of examinations for the new semester. But for now, the exams will be conducted in online mode only,” said an official from MU.

The Minister for state higher and technical education Uday Samant had earlier announced that the colleges will be reopened only for fully vaccinated students. On October 13, Samant suggested that colleges should implement the physical reopening of campuses in a phased manner and should continue online classes for those students who are not fully vaccinated.

However, for the first few days, colleges received a lukewarm response, but the percentage of students increased post-Diwali holidays in November. Some colleges affiliated with MU had also begun the offline classes, instead of hybrid mode, to know the number of students accepting the move.
