MUMBAI: The traumatic exam season for students of the University of Mumbai this year is far from over. With several exam dates rescheduled owing to the Lok Sabha election, the new dates are now clashing with other exams for the same set of students.
While the university is regularly making changes to the schedule and uploading it on its website, several students tend to not log on to the website during exams.
The latest victims of the series of rescheduling done by the university are the TYBA students pursuing psychology. TYBA students who will be appearing for the semester VI exams under the credit-based grading system have their abnormal psychology paper on the same day, April 22, as their semester V counselling paper for repeater students.
"There is complete chaos," a student from SIES College said. "The exams have been rescheduled already and the new dates released by the university clash with our ATKT paper. We have written to the university through our college. But the university is yet to clarify."
Adding to students' woes, the university website server was down on Thursday evening for a long time.
Controller of exams Padma Deshmukh said that she had received the complaint from a couple of individuals on Thursday. "If the dates are clashing, we will reschedule soon," Deshmukh said.
Several arts and science exams are overlapping with each other. With exams on election dates and training days affecting six exams, the university had to reschedule several exams. After rescheduling the exams, the new dates were clashing with other exams for students from the same course. Such exam dates were revised again. On Saturday, some of the TYBA regular students who are giving the exam under the credit-based grading system did not appear for the exam in the remote areas under the university's jurisdiction. "The university had rescheduled the dates for TYBA students under old course, but many regular students believed that their exam was rescheduled," a teacher said.
