Thousands of students from the University of Mumbai had to run from pillar to post on Wednesday to provide ‘proof’ that they wrote an exam in which they were wrongly marked absent.

As students shuttled between their exam centres and the University’s Kalina campus, they were told that the issue was due to a technical error in the software.

Officials in the University revealed that several students were marked absent due to a technical error in the result processing system which categorised them in the absent lot when their results were kept in reserve. “I was marked absent in one of the semester 6 papers despite attending the exam. I was asked to furnish proof of my attendance but after doing so, officials said my result was reserved due to a technical issue. I have to now wait until the issue is resolved,” said an LLB student from a South Mumbai college.

Dr Devanand Shinde, University in-charge Vice Chancellor said the results of such students would be immediately rectified. “We have set up additional desks to look into these issues,” said Shinde.
