Mumbai University is yet to declare the results of several important examinations held in November last year, despite its plans to carry out an online evaluation of the exam sheets.
The delay will cause lots of problems for the students, as it will give them little time for re-evaluation, in case of any discrepancies. The delay will also cause problems in their plan to go abroad for further studies.
