After back-to-back technical glitches marred the online examination process; Mumbai University postpones all pending exams of the Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL). Exams will now restart from October 19, 2020, and a revised schedule will be declared soon on Mumbai University’s official website. TO ensure no more technical issues in the new exam schedule other options too will be arranged.

The Mumbai University on Wednesday late evening declared a new statement after a meeting of the Board of Examination (BOE) following the technical lapses in the ongoing online examination. Since the examination has begun for IDOL students from October 3, there have been constant technical issues. On Tuesday, a huge lot of aggrieved students thronged the IDOL building in Mumbai University’s Kalina campus after they were not able to log in for the online examination. After declaring that exams scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday are postponed, the varsity on Tuesday night had issued a statement which read that the exam server of the online examination suffered a cyber attack which is what led to the technical issues. However in a statement on Wednesday regarding postponement on all pending papers; there is no mention of the cyber attack or what action will be taken by the university to ensure safety in future.
