But the ordeal is far from over for the Ambernath resident. Bhambre, who wants to pursue a MA course, says that the deadline for admission in MA courses expired long ago.

"The day HT carried the report, I got a call from the university in the afternoon. An official told me that my mark sheet has been corrected and that I can collect it from the university office," said Bhambre.

Bhambre told the university official that he wouldn't be able to collect the mark sheet as he had some family-related work.

"So they told me that they would courier it to my college where I can collect it."

"The next day, I got a call from my college informing me that they have received my corrected mark sheet," he said.

"Now, the question is how will I get admitted to a college in this academic year? I am going to write to the vice-chancellor and the concerned departments to grant me an admission in any college near my locality," he added.
