The University of Mumbai’s 155th foundation day ended with a bitter note due hundreds of students staging an agitation, demanding immediate declaration of B Com and BA results.
Since the students did not have police permission for the morcha, university security personnel did not allow them inside, after which, a few students pelted stones and jumped from walls into the campus. 2 security guards were injured in this incident.
Meanwhile even the BJP on Monday threatened to stage a protest outside the university’s Kalina campus until the university announced the dates for declaring the results of degree college exams.
“Results of degree college exams have to be declared within 45 days of the last exam paper. Three months have passed and the university has not declared the results. This will have serious repercussions on a student’s academic year,” said Amit Satam, general secretary, BJP’s youth wing.
“We had appealed to the university to do it earlier, but since they have failed to do so, we will be staging a protest outside the university gates on Tuesday and meet the controller of exams and force him to announce the dates, he added.
