Amit Salunkhe, 20, is in utter despair. He has been unable to procure admission to Bachelor's  degree in Law in any of the city colleges.

He blames it on University of Mumbai’s examination department, whose failure to release degree examination results on the stipulated date has resulted in him losing an academic year.

Amit, a student of Guru Nanak Khalsa College, had applied to the LLB course in several city colleges. But to his dismay, admissions to the course were over before he got his final degree marksheet from the university.

Amit had qualified in the graduate programme in Arts from Khalsa College . “I had applied to the University of Mumbai for the amendment in my degree marksheet.

My college issued the old marksheet of the degree programme on June 23, but failed to communicate to the university about my scores in the lower-level examination conducted by colleges,” said a disgruntled Amit.

He ran from pillar to post to procure the revised marksheet, but to no avail. The university's examination department has not issued it even today.

Amit said, “The process of procuring the old marksheet from my college and submitting it to the university's examination department took so long that the last date of application to LLB was over. I will now have to wait for another academic year to secure admission to Law."

The 20-year-old alleged that during his frequent visits to the university's examination department he felt that he was being ignored by the “rude” officials.

“They just turned a blind eye to my plight. It has been over a month now, and I still haven’t received my graduation marksheet. They have assured me that I would have to go through the trauma another 15 days before I get the results,” said Amit.

University officials trashed Amit's allegations as baseless. Prakash Wani, Controller of Examination, said: "In case of an emergency, it becomes the student's duty to put forth his case before the department in-charge.

The process of amending scores of the lower-grade examinations is a lengthy process that involves support from colleges. Any delay on their part can stall the process.”
