Here’s a stat you are already aware of: The Mumbai University made off with Rs 12.3 lakh from just giving photocopies of answer sheets to students in 2015-16. But here’s a bigger stat to knock you right off your feet: The same varsity earned Rs 2.67 crore from the re-evaluation process in the same period. Even more shocking: It spent only Rs 2.57 lakh in remunerating teachers for the reassessment.

The information, provided by the varsity in response to an RTI, reveals how the public university has earned a profit of around 98 per cent as administrative charges, even as the honorarium given to teachers for re-evaluation is the bare minimum.
