It has become an routine now for Mumbai University for delayed declaration of results of the examinations conducted by it for its various courses. In 2016 for the first semester almost 30% of the results declared were beyond the maximum stipulation of 45 days. For the Second Semester the ratio increased to 54%, as per the information provided to RTI Activist Anil Galgali by the University. As per the Maharashtra Universities Act it is binding on the University to declare it's results within a minimum of 30 days to a maximum of 45 days. A total of 210 results were declared beyond the maximum stipulation of 45 days in the Second Semester.

RTI Activist Anil Galgali had sought information from the Controller of Examinations of Mumbai University about the declaration of results for examinations held on March 2016, October 2016 and March 2017. As per the information provided by the University's COE department it has come to light that there is a 24% rise in the pattern of delayed results. In the year 2016's first semester, the results of all the 422 examinations conducted were declared, and out of which 130 results (30.8%) were delivered in 30 days. This contained 70 results belonging to the Arts stream, 20 from Science stream, 36 from Engineering, and 4 from Law. None from the Commerce stream. Further Within 45 days 164 (38.8%) results belonging to Arts -32, Science -23, Commerce - 4, Engineering -94, Law -11. And beyond 45 days 128 (30.4%) results were declared.

The details for results of March 2017 examinations​ were not provided stating that the results of the exams for this period is yet to be declared. It is worth mentioning that we are in the month of June and not a single result has been declared. For Graduate exams a period of more than 45 days has already elapsed. All the students are anxiously awaiting results and Maximum want to take admissions for further courses, said Galgali.

As per the Maharashtra Universities Act it is binding for the University to declare the results within 30 days and if delayed it has to be declared within maximum 45 days. And if it is not possible for the University to declare the results in 45 days then they have to prepare a detailed report mentioning reasons for the delay and has to be sent through the Vice Chancellor to the Governor and the State government. Mumbai University in a 2 paged report has sent to the state government various reasons for delay of March 2017 results. RTI Activist Anil Galgali has alleged that, the attention of the Vice Chancellor is not towards the activities of the University and it's functioning but towards his tours within the country and foreign trips, which has kept him completely occupied. This has led to a downfall in the ranking of the Mumbai University. In a letter addressed to the Governor, who is also the Chancellor of the University and to CM Devendra Fadnavis, Education Minister Vinod Tawde, MOS Ravindra Waikar, Anil Galgali has demanded that they order the Vice Chancellor to ensure that the results are declared within 30 days of the examinations.
