Scores of students from Mumbai University (MU), who have got their marksheets with spelling or typographical errors, are an angry lot. Some of them are even contemplating going to court against the varsity.

Students allege that every year a large number of them are made to run from pillar to post to get their marksheets and convocation certificates rectified. The university issues them a handwritten provisional marksheet that is not accepted by any university, not even by its own departments at times.

A student of LLB from Government Law College (GLC) said, “When I received my fifth semester marksheet, my surname was misspelt. So I applied for a rectified marksheet. Even after completing my sixth semester, I have not got a rectified marksheet. Instead, my name was misspelt on the sixth semester marksheet too.” Another student from GLC said, “I am seeking admission for LLM at Mumbai University. Initially, they refused to admit me on the basis of provisional marksheet, but when they realised that there many others like me, they agreed to accept provisional marksheets, but only till September 27. My parents and I are already consulting a lawyer for filing a case against MU, if I miss this crucial year.”
