The university’s decision to delay the summer examinations by a few weeks has messed up the assessment period. Most teachers are on vacation, as they were busy supervising exams till May 10. “At present, only those teachers who are in the city are assessing papers,” said Anju Kapoor, principal of UPG College, Vile Parle.

For certain courses, including Bachelors in Mass Media (BMM), BCom (Accounting Finance), etc., teachers are yet to finish registration process to be eligible to access On-Screen Marking (OSM) assessment system.

“We have also complained to the university that despite several attempts, some of us have not managed to finish the registration process. We are wasting our time in this process while answer sheets are waiting to be assessed,” said a teacher on condition of anonymity.
