The state education board on Monday cancelled the registration of Mumbra-based St. Mary’s Junior College. The move comes close on the heels of complaints from 190 students of the college, who claimed that they failed in the HSC exams because of its goof-up. mid-day had reported this on May 27 (‘150 failed students protest outside college’).

FM Ilyas, president of Navnirman Foundation, a non-government organisation (NGO) that works for educational and social causes said, “There were 200 students of which almost 190 failed. Internal marks were not added properly to the student’s final result. Students had to pay the price for the mistake that the college did.”
