A student was caught by city police when he was found with a copy of a Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) paper on her mobile phone, University of Mumbai (MU) said that the decision to conduct a re-examination will be taken after the police inquiry.

Arjun Ghatule, in-charge director, the board of examination and evaluation at MU said that the university is awaiting the results of an inquiry by the city police. Meanwhile, a committee appointed by the university is also investigating the incident. He added that if a college is found to be responsible for the leak, action will be taken against it.

A university official, however, suggested that there won’t be a re-examination as the paper didn’t seem to have reached many students.

A student caught at MVM College in Andheri from a Vile Parle college carrying a mobile phone during Marketing: E-commerce & Digital Marketing paper of BMS fifth semester examination, 45 minutes after the paper started at 11 am. The college filed a complaint against the student at Amboli police station with the proof of BMS exam question paper on her cell phone.

A day before HT also reported that sem-5 BMS paper held on Monday and Wednesday were ‘leaked’ on a social media before the examination.

Generally, MU sends exam papers to centers through its Digital Exam Paper Delivery System introduced in 2013 in the wake of several paper leak incidents. The colleges download the question papers from an MU portal through the password given just one and half hours before the paper starts. The papers are then printed by the college and distributed among the students.

According to Ghatule MU’s online paper delivery method is a fullproof system with security features. “There’s no problem in the technology. The leaks occur when humans get involved. But one will have to trust humans”.
