MUMBAI: HSC students seeking admissions to degree courses in universities outside Maharashtra are in a limbo over a delay in getting marksheets and other documents. While Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary announced HSC results on August 3, they are yet to issue marksheets. The board usually issues marksheets in a week or 10 days after results, but there have been delays earlier too.
The parent of a student who secured admission to a national law university in the South, said they were given a deadline to submit documents, and the delay may affect admissions. “For admissions within Maharashtra, institutes will consider using the online scorecard, but for central universities or institutions outside the state, we need migration certificates, for which we must submit board and college documents that we get along with marksheets. We are unable to process our migration certificates,” said the parent. Results this year were delayed due to the second Covid wave. Board exams were called off in May, but the decision to assess students based on previous performances came later. Other boards have released marksheets and leaving certificates, said a parent.
A government official said marksheets will be issued soon. He said considering Covid, students should not be deprived of admissions.
