For example, Anuja Palsuledesai, head of Vivekanand Night College, said that the device of protecting morning varsity checks for FY and SY students compelled evening college candidates to skip paintings and plenty of didn't recognize that.
Many principals also said that assessment used to be a priority as all checks had been happening in the March-end to early-May time period.
"Earlier, colleges completed the exam and assessment work of FY and SY before third-year exams began and so faculty were available for assessment duty. But now all exams take place at the same time frame which sees a pile-up of evaluation work."
Several principals raised the controversial matter of the university's contract with Merittrac, the technical partner for on-screen assessment. "Tell us what are the merits of having MeritTrac again after so much goof-up in 2017 assessment work?" requested senate member Anil Parab.
Principal of D G Ruparel College, Tushar Desai, said tagging of college used to be a subject this time too.
"Teachers who were tagged for the fifth semester exam were also tagged for the sixth semester exam, despite the fact that many were not a part of evaluation duty," he said.
Moreover, the annual price range tabled on Friday used to be handed on Saturday. Several senate individuals said the university needs to come up with solutions to scale back its deficit. Supriya Karande, a senate member, said, "The University of Mumbai needs to receive an outstanding sum of Rs 80 crore as pending affiliation fee. We must recover that."
