Mumbai University's latest goof-up: Schedules SYBCom, CA exams on same dates

Mumbai University shocks SYBCom students by scheduling exams on the same days as CA papers

Mumbai University's SYBCom students are in shock - their upcoming exam is clashing with the national-level CA exam. Last month, when the exam dates were declared, they had complained about the clash, following which the varsity had said it would rectify the error. But now that the timetable is out, students have found that they have to appear for two papers on the same day, forcing them to run between faraway centres with just an hour between the two papers.

"For the university exam, our college will be the centre. But for the IPCC examination, the centre can be anywhere in Mumbai. In Mumbai's traffic and with its transport options, how can we reach another exam centre in just an hour? Also, every student has to reach at least 30 minutes before the examination to complete formalities. This means even if one manages to reach in an hour, s/he will lose out on precious time," said a troubled student.
