According to the report, nearly 1,70,000 students are regular ones while the rest are taking the exam to clear the backlog. The result certificates will have no mention of the exam being held during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a mention had appeared on some passing certificates issued by an agriculture university in the state earlier, which had drawn criticism.
Samant clarified that the certificate will be normal, a regular piece of paper.
Meanwhile, Mumbai University’s practical exams began from September 15, while that for backlog papers will be held from September 25.
