A student who completed LLB course at the University of Mumbai filed a petition seeking Rs. 10 lakh compensation for the loss of educational and employment opportunities due to the delay in declaration of results. The petitioner claimed that the seats in almost all the good colleges have been filled with only limited seats remaining. If the results are out by August 24, 2017, the students could apply for at least the third round.
The court further clarified that it is the responsibility of the varsity and the state government to tackle the various issues raised by students.
Even though the varsity declared the results of final year BA and B.Sc courses, the results of few students were not released due to various reasons like missing or untraceable papers. For tackling these kinds of issues, the University of Mumbai has set up the help desk to assist the students in sorting out the problems. A team of 10 officials and teachers have been working throughout the day to sort out the problems of students. The team is also assisting the students in getting admission to various colleges.
