The law students of the Mumbai University have started an online petition against the varsity's plan to implement 60:40 evaluation pattern from this academic year. They claim that this would lead to malpractices.

The MU, on May 20, released a circular declaring the introduction of 60:40 assessment pattern, which allows the law colleges to evaluate students on two components — internal test (40 per cent) and semester-end exam (60 per cent). The prevailing system entails a semester-end written exam for 100 marks.
