It seems the law colleges of the city have been plagued by failure in examinations, as this time very few students have managed to clear all their papers. While the authorities concerned believe that they need to prepare well, the students feel that shifting the assessment process from Mumbai University to individual colleges is the reason for the mass failure. What is a bigger hassle for them now is that they have to apply for re-evaluation and re-examination by paying separate fees.

While at Sandesh Law College, four students out of 116 cleared all papers; in Siddharth College of Law, 200 of 260 students have failed in at least one paper. Students believe the purpose of shifting the evaluation process - to declare results faster - has not been served, as it is impossible for so many to fail.
