Mumbai University offers grace marks if you fail in one subject in a semester. Let’s say, there are 6 subjects in a semester, and if you fail in two subjects, you won’t get grace marks. The university only offers grace marks, if you pass in all the subjects except one. The amount of grace marks allotted is 10%. If you fail a theory examination with 80 marks, then 10% of 80, i.e. 8 is given as grace marks.
Yes, Mumbai University allows students to change college after the first semester. The rules for changing college are different for different courses. You need to give a valid reason. You can’t change your college if you have any remaining KT or defaulters.
Before applying to another college, you also need to get a NOC from your current college.
To get a duplicate degree certificate from Mumbai University you first need to file an FRI for your missing certificate. Then get an affidavit clearly mentioning that you haven’t misused the certificate in any way. Then you can apply for the duplicate certificate through your college or directly to the examination section Mahatma Phule Bhavan. You need to submit a copy of your degree certificate along with your application. You also need to pay INR 300 to get the duplicate. Payment can be made via demand draft or directly at the designated bank.
Both Pune University and Mumbai University are well-esteemed institutions in India imparting superior quality education. However, the one that is suitable for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some factors that are usually considered are location, campus culture, and research opportunities. It's advisable to research both universities and visit them in person if possible to make a wise decision.
In my opinion, however, Pune University has a much higher preference rate than Mumbai university. This is because of the following factors:
If you genuinely want to understand concepts and create amazing memories along with a lot of struggles, Pune University is for you. If you are looking for a laid-back campus life and a calm learning environment, then Mumbai University is best for you.
Pune University is better in terms of syllabus, exposure and examination pattern.
PU is more recognized. So, you will get better exposure, if you are planning on pursuing higher studies.
Delhi University is a better option. It is a central university, while MU is a state university. DU receives humongous funding from the central government. Naturally, it stands much higher than any state university including MU. It offers better education, infrastructure, and research opportunities.
DU has hardly 100 affiliated colleges. So, it’s easier for the administration to make sure the education process is smooth. MU has over 1100 colleges. Handling so many colleges, hampers the fundamentals of education, at times.
Overall, DU is more organized and offers better education and learning opportunities.
You may have confused SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) with SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering). SPIT is not an autonomous institute. The courses offered in SPIT are Computers, IT, Electronics, and Electronics and Telecom.
Deciding Factors:
If you are looking for any particular program, then you should narrow down your choice of college based on courses. If you are more college-driven then you should go through the following points to make the right decision.
VJTI:
Considering all the factors, VJTI is the best option.
The placement statistics of recent years at VJTI are as follows.
Average CTC |
6.8 LPA |
Highest CTC |
27 LPA |
Academics and co-curricular do not depend on the institute only. It is what you make of it. VJTI is the best choice as it provides a good network and exposure.
Preference Order:
The preference order of the institutes other than VJTI is as follows.
If you get admission to VJTI you should definitely opt for it. You should consider what course you are choosing and research about the facilities and placements. For example, CS at SPIT has better placement than ME at VJTI or any of the other colleges mentioned here.
Also, autonomous colleges have better administration in MU. They have a better examination schedule, quick result release and you will have higher chances of securing a good CGPA.
