As per the information provided under an RTI, University of Mumbai earned Rs 4.8 crore from the re-evaluation of the exam papers and around Rs 15 lakhs by issuing photocopies to students from the 2016-17 academic year. 

In the academic year 2017-2018, the amount received by the varsity on re-evaluation and photocopies from the students are 3.4 crores and around 13 lakh respectively.

The information was provided to an RTI activist, Vihar Durve, who had filed an RTI in which it was revealed that around 97,000 students applied for re-evaluation out which 35,000 were wrongly marked failed in their examination of the 2016-17 academic year. 

They cleared their exams only after re-evaluation of their answer papers. Even while giving answer sheets sought under re-evaluation, some of students were even given wrong answer sheet. So if an answer sheet was sought by a student who had written exams in Marathi language, he was given answer sheet of English language. 

Durve said, “If Mumbai University (MU) has earned so huge amount in re-evaluation and photocopies then they should provide compensation or refund to those students who were wrongly marked failed in their examination.”

Durve has asked in a recent RTI about the information of how many students have passed their first half examination of 2018 on which the University has revealed that the process of declaring the results of those students are still in process and so the information on the same cannot be provided. When contacted the officials for comments, they refused to comment.
