New Delhi: Mumbai University has postponed the exams for all courses till diwali following the multiple requests from final year students. Previously the tests were scheduled to begin from October 15, 2022.
“The Board of Examination and Evaluation, in a meeting, has decided to postpone the semester V exams till after Diwali. The students will be informed of the new examination dates before Diwali ends,” Mumbai University official said, as reported by news agency PTI.
Students will be able to access the finalised exam schedule on the official website once it has been released by the university.
This comes after students from at least five city colleges complained in writing to Mumbai University that they had insufficient time and opportunity to prepare for a written exam in long-form format. A total of 450 exams have been postponed.
According to a The Free Press Journal report, students claimed to have taken multiple-choice questions in online tests for the previous two years in a row. They, therefore, need more time to study for final exams that will also include subjective questions.
