Mumbai: The Mumbai University has postponed its Winter 2025 examinations in view of the upcoming elections to municipal councils and nagar panchayats.

In a circular issued on the other day, the Mumbai University notified all affiliated colleges that the exams originally scheduled from December 1 to 4 will now take place between December 16 and 19.

Although the exam dates have been shifted, the exam timings will remain the same.

The university has instructed every department, sub-centre and the principal of affiliated colleges to promptly inform students and staff about the revised schedule.

It is worth recalling that a month ago a counterfeit circular, carrying the Mumbai University’s name and logo, spread widely on social media, falsely stating that the exams had been postponed due to “technical difficulties.”

Following the circulation of the fake notice, the Mumbai University issued an official clarification on X stating that the document was “fabricated and misleading”. The University also reminded students to depend solely on its official website (mu.ac.in) and verified social media channels for authentic updates.
