Mumbai University to conduct winter session exams after Diwali, new dates to be out soon

This comes after students from at least five city colleges complained in writing to Mumbai University that they had insufficient time and opportunity to prepare for a written exam in long-form format.

According to a The Free Press Journal report, students claimed to have taken multiple-choice questions in online tests for the previous two years in a row. They, therefore, need more time to study for final exams that will also include subjective questions.

Meanwhile, Mumbai University announced the result of the Pre-PhD admission exam last month. The examination was held on August 26 and 27. Out of the total 4,785 candidates that took the examination, 2,591 students were able to pass the test. The exam's pass rate was 54.14 percent. The entrance was conducted online for 79 subjects across four faculties.

Also, admissions to as many as 24 courses at Mumbai University’s distance and open institute for the July session are underway. The last date to apply is October 15. The university has also begun admission for MA courses in Psychology, Journalism, and Public Relations.
