It has been nearly three months since the LLB Semester V exams for the three-year course conducted by Mumbai University (MU) concluded. Yet, students continue to wait for results. According to insiders, the university is supposed to release mark sheets within 30 days from the end date of exams. It may take an extra 15 days. However, the students’ union claims that not just LLB, but LLM students’ first-year results are pending too. Faculty and principals of law colleges blamed technical glitches in the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system and non-payment of paper correction charges by the university.
A law faculty member said, “Technical glitches while using the OSM is one of the reasons for delay. Secondly, most law colleges do not have full-time faculty who are NET/SET qualified PhD-holders as per the UGC (University Grants Commission) mandate. Visiting faculty with a Master’s degree, who are either practising lawyers or teachers, are hired instead. They are paid between Rs 300 and Rs 600 per lecture. Most of them do not want to correct papers on the OSM system as it’s time-consuming and the university does not pay the fees on time.”
