More than one lakh students are expected to take their examinations in the October-November session, including repeater candidates and fresh candidates in courses following the semester system.

At the Examination House in the Kalina campus, a centre will be manned by trained university staff where students can get their queries answered and problems solved during the last eight days before the start of examinations.

This year, the students had been confounded by a series of problems including errors in hall tickets and changes of exam centres at the last minute, right before the year-ending March examinations. Examinations for various subjects begin on October 1, with several lasting until the end of November.

But if there are then we should be able to correct them” said S Deo, director of examinations, Mumbai University Examinations for various subjects begin on October 1, with several lasting until the end of November.
