The University of Mumbai’s decision to connect semester examinations after Diwali vacations has not gone down well with many. This is the first time the university will be setting exam papers for all undergraduate students. Some of her college teachers had called for mock test sessions during the Diwali vacations because once college reopens in November, all teachers will be busy with university exam supervision and correction of papers. Diwali vacations will end on November 8, and on the same day exams for third year students will begin. To finish mock tests before teachers get busy with supervision work, some colleges have scheduled them in the first week of November.
