Mumbai University Exam: BMM students allege errors in semester 5 paper assessments

“Most of us were happy with the way our exams went. So the result came as a complete shock. Our class topper has been awarded ‘A’ or ‘A+’ in four subjects and only minimum pass marks in the remaining two subjects. How is this possible?” one of the students questioned.

Students pursuing the Bachelors in Mass Media (BMM) course from the University of Mumbai (MU), have raised questions on the assessment of their Semester 5 answer sheets. Students and colleges said that their top-scorers received only average marks in the semester 5 papers.

The students had given their Semester 5 exams in November. The results were announced earlier this month. (HT)

“Most of us were happy with the way our exams went. So the result came as a complete shock. Our class topper has been awarded ‘A’ or ‘A+’ in four subjects and only minimum pass marks in the remaining two subjects. How is this possible?” one of the students questioned.

The students had given their Semester 5 exams in November. The results were announced earlier this month. With Semester 6 exams scheduled to begin in three weeks, students are worried about the fact that they would have to submit their papers for revaluation. “We will not receive re-evaluation results for the next three months. So this entire exercise of revaluation is useless,” said another student.

MU officials said they have started receiving re-evaluation applications, but have not received any complaint. “If there are any concerns, we will look into them,” said Vinod Malale, deputy registrar (public relations) of MU.
