45-day deadline over, MU fails to declare results of over 50 exams

In the absence of results, students are unable to take admission in other universities, while MU has been providing provisional admissions.

A student of TYBSc said, “I want to study in a college affiliated to University of Pune, however in the absence of marksheet I was denied admission. I have requested a college to give me provisional admission, considering the fact that delay in results in not my fault.”

Results of third-year BSc, BA, MCom, final year law in three years and five years course, third year BMM and others are among those which are yet to be declared. After a series of complaints from students, MU’s examination department on Friday, July 17, conducted an emergency meeting regarding the delay in the declaration of results of exams conducted in April-May 2015.

According to officials, the modernisation of the examination system is the main reason behind the delay as the Central Computing Facility (CCF) department of the examination section is yet to process the results. There has been a major delay in declaring the results of exams conducted by MU almost every year. As per the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994, results must be declared within 30-45 days from the concluding date of the examinations.

Sources in the examination section said the Controller of Examination (CoE), in order to make the examination process error-free and also to cut down malpractices, had introduced a new system wherein colleges were expected to submit their internal marks for project work on CDs instead by emails. So, the computerisation process has increased.

“As the process has become cumbersome, the CCF department has been grappling with extra workload. There is already shortage of staff and the staff present is very lethargic. CoE Dinesh Bhonde has informed Chancellor C Vidyasagar Rao and Vice-Chancellor Dr Sanjay Deshmukh about the lethargy of the CCF department, due to which both the revaluation results of November 2014 and final exams of April 2015 have not been announced,” said a senior official. While the university conducts exams for around 536 subjects, the revaluation and final exam results of over 50 subjects are pending. Bhonde, however, said the situation this year was much better and MU was declaring results phase-wise.
