MU declared the TY BCom Semester 6 results on Wednesday, just 14 days after the examinations concluded. Around 47,500 students registered for the exam.

Under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the University Grants Commission has made ABC and APAAR IDs mandatory. The IDs enable students to digitally store academic records, allowing transfer of credits between universities and helping prevent duplication and fraud.

MU said that despite issuing several circulars and holding meetings with colleges regarding submission of ABC IDs, many institutions failed to complete the process on time.

Pooja Raundale, director of MU’s examination and evaluation board, urged colleges to immediately submit pending ABC ID details so withheld results can be released.

As per the government directive, every student must generate a 12-digit APAAR ID linked to Aadhaar and DigiLocker. Colleges and universities have also been asked to upload students’ academic credit data to the ABC portal by June 2026.
