BHAGYASHRI KAMAT Mumbai Mumbai Universityalt39s claims of turning techno savvy and speeding up the administration procedure in each and every department has failed miserably with
the delay in the declaration of results by the examination department.
Reliable sources from the university stated that the department has been facing this deficiency for the past few years now. Answer papers of MA in Economics have still not reached the department.
The fate of 500 students is at stake with the delay in results.

However, the university is delaying declaring the results of the degree courses.
In addition to this, a few post graduate departments within the university have still not received the answer papers of students for assessment leading to further delay.

We are trying our level best to declare the degree course results before June 10.
” However, even we are facing immense pressure. We have to check the functioning of each and every department with the introduction of the new evaluation system. Also, there are no teachers available for the assessment of the papers because of vacation period.” In order to speed up the assessment of papers, university officials had introduced the computerised evaluation system where in papers were assessed by moderators and later scanned to cross check the marks.
However, sources have stated that this system is acting as one of the obstacles in the delay of the results.
