After facing much criticism for delaying the process of issuing mark-sheets after declaring results, the Mumbai University (MU) now plans to give provisional ones to students to help them apply for further admissions.

According to sources, though the varsity has declared results for 3.5 lakh students in 149 courses so far, they are yet to receive their mark-sheets. Admitting to the delay, the varsity had said that as a number of results are declared simultaneously, it takes time to print and distribute the mark-sheets. Hence, provisional mark-sheets would minimise students' inconvenience.
