The worst casualty is the law department, which faces maximum postponements.
The earlier semester results are yet to be declared, so a revised schedule will leave students with little time to apply for re-evaluation.
"How're they expecting us to fill forms for repeaters' exams in 10-15 days without knowing which subjects we've failed?" asked a student.
Semester-V repeaters' exam is scheduled on April 18.

"We've demanded that MU should stop the online assessment since this has led to collapse of the examination system. Last year, we adjusted, but this year, we'll not relent. Why should students suffer due to MU's inefficiency," asked Sachin Pawar, President, Students Law Council.

MU is infamous for major goof-ups that gives rise to massive chaos.
Last year was a fiasco, with students being incorrectly failed or marked (absent students received marks too!) and results being severely delayed.
Meanwhile, the results of 45 exams that were held in November -December haven't been announced yet, and the varsity has already scheduled exams for next semester.
