The University of Mumbai has taken decisive action in response to the alleged leak of BCom exam papers at National College in Bandra, which occurred between April 11 and 15. An internal investigation revealed that the leak likely originated from the university’s Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE). Following the discovery, the university terminated one staff member, issued notices to three others, and lodged a First Information Report (FIR) at BKC Police Station. The leaked papers included subjects such as taxation, economics, and commerce and management, raising concerns about the integrity of the examination process. Student organizations, including the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and Yuva Sena (UBT), have called for more stringent actions, alleging that the university's measures have primarily targeted lower-level staff while protecting higher officials. The ABVP has demanded the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to ensure a thorough inquiry. This incident is not isolated, as the university has faced similar issues in the past, including a significant engineering paper leak in 2012 that resulted in multiple arrests.
