MUMBAI: Even as Mumbai University announced the results of a few self-financed courses—BSc-IT and BMS—in the last two days, the results of major courses taken by a larger number of students, like BCom, BSc and BA are yet to be announced.
These exams were conducted online in May. The delay in the announcement of results is likely to affect students pursuing higher education in the country and abroad. “I am worried about losing my conditional offer letter from an international university,” said a TYBSc student, adding that they would cancel the admission if the final marksheets are not submitted within the varsity’s deadline.
Vinod Patil, director, board of examinations and evaluation, said they had been facing shortage of staff due to the pandemic and lockdown-like curbs. “Co-ordinating with colleges, which are also running on limited staff, is also adding to the delay. We are working on the results and hope to announce most of them in the 8-10 days,” he said.
