Poor results for many engineering students
Mumbai: Seventh semester (Electronics & Electronics
Telecommunication) results for several students of various
engineering colleges in the city have come as a disappointment.
The pass percentage has come down drastically with more
than a third of the students failing in two different
subjects, an official said.
Even though officials say that questions asked in the
paper were from the syllabus, most of the students of
Electronics Telecommunication have failed in Microwave
Devices and Circuits (MDC), whereas those studying for
Electronics & Electrical Engineering (ELEX) branch
have failed in VLSI Engineering & Design Automation.
Incidentally, most of the students have already secured
jobs or got admissions for further studies.
Students have, by and large, accepted the result, but
they have also requested university officials to expedite
the process of revaluation of the papers.
Usually, this (revaluation) process takes almost five
months. However, in this case, if the students still get
an ATKT, their final results will show pass class, irrespective
of what they score, said the official.
Sandeep Sahare, dean (engineering) at the University of
Mumbai, acknowledged that the pass percentage in the two
papers was extremely low as compared to previous years
and even in contrast to other papers this year. In fact,
we even allotted a lot of grace marks in these two papers,
a senior university official said. Many students and their
parents met us for help. But unfortunately nothing can
be done now, he added.
