After incidents involving incorrect question papers and missing attendance sheets, Nagpur University’s Summer Examination 2026 has been hit by two more significant lapses, raising fresh concerns over the functioning of its examination system.
In one instance, four fifth-semester law students from Hinganghat were wrongly declared ‘fail’ despite securing passing marks. In another, several BA Second Semester (NEP) students received hall tickets carrying the wrong subject name just days before their examinations. Students have also complained of discrepancies between the examination centres printed on their hall tickets and the centres actually allotted to them.
The law students discovered that although their mark sheets reflected marks sufficient to clear the examination, they had nevertheless been marked as ‘fail’. The issue was brought to the attention of the university administration by Senate member Rahul Hanwate after the affected students approached him for help.
A subsequent inquiry found that a technical error in the examination section had led to the incorrect results. Following verification, the university issued corrected mark sheets and declared all four students passed. In a separate case, BA Second Semester (NEP) students found that their hall tickets mentioned “Open Elective-II” instead of the prescribed “Open Elective-I” paper. The mistake came to light only a few days before the scheduled examination.
The university later issued a clarification stating that the reference to Open Elective-II was a technical error and directed students to appear for the Open Elective-I examination according to the prescribed syllabus and timetable on June 15. While the clarification helped avert immediate confusion, students expressed concern over repeated errors surfacing at crucial stages of the examination process.
Students and faculty members argued that mistakes involving results, hall tickets, examination subjects and centre allocations have a direct impact on academic progress and cause unnecessary stress for candidates. They maintained that such lapses cannot simply be brushed aside as technical glitches.
