Mumbai University MU) has taken a decision to give tuition and exam fee waiver to the students affected by the recent unseasonal rainfall. Re-examination will also be held for the students who were arrested in October as they protested against the felling of trees in Aarey Colonly, and at the same time, the university will also write to the governor on the students’ behalf to withdraw the cases against them.

These decisions were taken at the senate meeting of MU. MU VC Dr Suhas Pednekar appealed to the students to not give up on their studies due to financial constraints and said that MU will do the needful by exempting fees for the affected students. All the details regarding the same will be uploaded on the university’s official website in a few days.
