mid-day had reported how the university wants first semester of BSc students to appear for two papers at a time, as the timetable declared by MU showed clashing of several exams.
A committee member, Dr Vijay Joshi, told mid-day, “We will soon be issuing a circular to clarify how colleges should conduct the examination. The multiple question paper set approach has been taken for this examination, which is what could have led to the confusion.”
Joshi refused to explain further, saying everyone should wait for the circular. He, however, added, “As done in the arts faculty, MU wants to start the process of faster examination in science stream as well. The age-old approach made the exams drag on for a month. With the new system, we aim to finish sooner.”
