Only two students from the 2019-20 batch of Mumbai University have attended the offline final-year examination.
The MU authorities said that both the students were senior-citizens and belonged to the law faculty who have taken up the offline final-year exams.
While in other universities, only 15-65% of students have taken up the offline final-year exams and the highest was from Aurangabad.
Uday Samant, the higher and technical education minister, on Friday, presented the data which showed that most of the universities across the state have recorded a success rate of 90% in the final year exams.
Although the graduating 2019-20 batch of MU had 2.5 lakhs students, the presented data didn't include the number of students who didn't take up the exam, said an MU official.
Samant said that the additional exams will be conducted after the Diwali Celebration, for the students who have missed their exams due to COVID-19 or any natural calamity.
Also, the university will conduct the exams for the students who failed in their online exams within a month of the declaration of results, they need not wait for 6 months to reattempt it and this will only be beneficial to this batch, clarified an MU official.
In the view of pandemic COVID-19, UGC ordered the varsities to conduct online exams to the final year students before conferring them the degree.
Due to the lack of resources, students hailing from rural areas had to take up the MCQs examination physically.
On Friday, Samant reviewed the examination status of all the universities and found it incomplete which is an indication that most of the students had taken up the online exams and have been passed so far.
As per the earlier data, most of the universities across the state have recorded a 90% success rate excluding Aurangabad, Pune, and Nanded.
Only the results of 3 exams have been announced in Pune. While in Mumbai, a total of 400 exams were taken, out of which results of 117 exams have been declared and the overall success rate is 93%.
In Solapur and Nanded, the results have been declared and 96% of the students from Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University who had taken the online exams for 68 courses have successfully cleared it.
