Anil Galgali appreciated the efforts and precautions taken by the MCGM and even though lakhs of candidates applied and appeared for the exam there were no loop holes, no paper leaks and also the correct answer keys were also sent via email. Mumbai University should  take a lesson from this and should have faith in government company instead of private company for conducting online exams and also for online paper corrections, add Galgali.
