Kajal Patil
Unclear about the status of her result of the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) paper, Kajal Patil, a final year law student from G J Advani Law College, will have to appear for a re-examination. The result of semester V was declared on March 26 and Patil scored 0 in one of the papers, which came as a shock to her as she was confident of passing the PIL exam.
Knowing it was impossible, Patil approached Mumbai University (MU), which told her the result showed reserved, so she must wait for them to clarify the glitch and not apply for re-evaluation. But, she has not received any clarity yet. This has meant that she missed the April 1 deadline to apply for re-evaluation.

"I passed all the other papers. It's impossible to score 0 in PIL so I approached the varsity. The officials asked for a proof that I took the PIL exam. My question is why should I go through the hassle when I don't know what exactly happened to my original paper. Have they lost it?" Kajal added.
