The Bombay High Court today gave the University of Mumbai another chance to ensure that the technical glitches it faced with the on-screen marking (OSM) system during the summer semester are not repeated during the winter semester this year. The court was hearing a bunch of petitions filed by students and the Bombay University and College Teachers' Union challenging the OSM system for assessing papers online. "Earlier the university went on to introduce the system without doing proper homework. The petitions were filed after the university earlier this year faced problems with the system and failed to declare the summer semester results in time. "After discussing all the pros and cons, it was decided that the Mumbai University, being a premier university, the OSM system shall be continued for the second half of the examinations of this year too.
