Can’t meet MU results deadline

As lakhs of students under the University of Mumbai eagerly wait for their results, the University Vice Chancellor Dr Sanjay Deshmukh has expressed on Friday his inability to meet the July 31.

At a meeting convened by Ramraje Nimbalkar, Chairman of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, Dr Deshmukh said that while the results of some streams such as Management and Technology would come in before July 31, the university cannot meet the deadline for faculty of Commerce, Law and Arts, as a large number of papers are yet to be evaluated.

State Education minister Vinod Tawde was also present at the meeting, along with Niranjan Davkhare, Dhananjay Munde, Anil Parab, Sanjay Dutt and others. Sources say Tawde asked the VC to ensure that the results are declared without any errors, even if it means a delay of two-three days.

Tawde said that an inquiry would be conducted against whoever responsible for the delay — the company which was given the contract, or the VC and university officials.

Deshmukh said that the university would try its best to declare the results of all the major faculties by first week of August, after which a few members raised concerns about the fate of students seeking admissions abroad.
