With the Mumbai University (MU) facing flack for delay in declaring results, it has come up with a new way to pacify students. In a circular issued yesterday, it said students applying for re-evaluation would have to pay Rs 300 instead of the earlier Rs 600. It added that they would be emailed a copy of their answer sheets and wouldn't need to collect the photocopies.

Sources said the decision was taken at a management council meeting of the varsity on Monday. After the delay in declaring results, concerns were raised over the quality of assessment and subsequent increase in the number of re-evaluation applications. Students had also raised a demand for reducing the re-evaluation fees.
