On Wednesday, December 2, the Bombay University and College Teachers’ Union (BUCTU) requested the vice-chancellor of Mumbai University (MU) to postpone the first-year degree college exams.
As per reports, the degree college teachers have suggested that the first-year examinations be postponed to end of January 2021, adding that that the university release an official circular as soon as possible. This comes in less than two weeks after the organisation, in their previous letter, claimed that several colleges have not managed to teach the mandatory 90 days before the examinations a result of the delay in admissions to first-year courses which makes it impossible to hold the examinations in the month of December.
The University of Mumbai had earlier launched the first-ever one-of-a-kind, two Master of Arts, in PR and Communications and Journalism, in online and blended learning format, powered by upGrad.
Moreover, the content of the program can be accessed in English, Hindi and Marathi, which also happens to a fresh addition as MU have not gone digital with a Marathi-language program in the past. According to sources, the modules are to include live doubt-solving sessions, discussion forum, career coaching, and a 15-hour per week program structure with live and recorded lectures delivered by the industry leaders and faculty.
The University of Mumbai happens to be one of the oldest premier institutions in India which offer courses in bachelors, masters and doctoral courses, as well as diplomas and certificates in many disciplines like the Arts, Commerce, Science, Medical and Engineering.
