Mumbai University is one of the worst Universities in India. [Rant]
Seriously, For all those reading this, consider this as a warning, do not join MU or any of its affiliated colleges.
University has like 80-90% operations in offline mode, like f*ck transparency who needs it? Whether its document verification or university marksheets, u have to go and collect from the University. {otherwise wait half year so that they could send ur marksheets to colleges out of mercy}. You can expect like 4-5 months to get smallest of things done, cant emphasize how helpless one feels here.
Colleges illegally keeping original 10th, 12th marksheets, YES! they do this! they force you to submit your marksheets in the name of DTE verification so that you cannot leave the college mid-way. When you would ask for the documents back, college clerks would threaten and shut you off.
When you say you will submit digilocker documents, they say, "we dont accept digilocker things".
MU butchering the names, If your name is written anything like [firstName] [lastName] or [firstName] [middleName] [lastName], forget your degree having that name, they forcefully butcher your name, into [lastName] [firstName] [middleName] [fatherName] [motherName] . Even after repeated reminders university and college folks did this. They have just created a new problem. Now, u cant retrieve your degree from digilocker.
Results held in reserve (RPV/RLE), if you come from another board, like CBSE/ICSE etc, there are high chances that your results will be held in reserve, for that to be cleared you will need to visit Ambedkar Bhawan in the University and will meet a nasty govt BABU ready to take a bribe just to get a job done, its a huge pain to take a confirmation from college clerks and next day visit here to meet him, Often times this govt BABU is not even in his seat. "there is a envelop in the staff toilet put INR 2000 in it." this will be his response to get your job done.
Randomly failing students just to get re-evaluation fees, All prepared for exams? but no one is guaranteed to pass, not because of tough syllabus {on the contrary syllabus is outdated as f*ck, learning is shite} but of severe mis-management, lack of cooperation between colleges & uni and to be frank just, people involved are just arrogant, illiterate, and unskilled baabus.
-------------
TL;DR
Mumbai University and its affliated colleges are all filled with arrogant, unskilled, greedy people, they dont give a f*ck about you or your degree. You will save yourself a heck lot of trouble by not joining it.
