A day after the final year exam paper of the undergraduate course on 'Export Marketing' was reportedly circulated on WhatsApp, the Mumbai University has refused to acknowledge that it was a leak which upset several students who had flagged the issue on Wednesday.

"We have asked our technical team to look into the issue. However, this does not seem like a case of leak as there is no concrete evidence about when it reached students and how many students accessed it. It is possible that some coaching class or student might have played some mischief and circulated copies of the paper after the exam was over," said Vinod Malale, Deputy Registrar(PR), Examination Section.

On Wednesday morning, several students in central and south Mumbai had reported that they got a copy of the 'Export Marketing' paper before the exam began at 11 am. DNA is in possession of one such screenshot indicating that the paper might have reached a few students at 10.37 as per the time stamp visible in the screenshot.

Following the reports, students are now hoping that the varsity sets up an inquiry into the issue.

"Many of us have prepared for several months and have genuinely written our exams. But if some students have really got access to the paper before the exam, there needs to be an inquiry into the issue," said a student from a college in Matunga.

However, varsity officials said that there won't be an inquiry unless the technical team flags some malpractice in the case.
