Kalina University of Mumbai — Attraction in Mumbai

An Honest Review

I visited MU kalina university on 6th November 2020. And I am living in Mumbai since I was born and know how things actually work here. So, important things I'd like to share on the basis of the things I've seen/faced/experienced. I visited MU for inquiring if I could do UG final year directly after 10+2. I found answers to all my queries after 3 hours. Just for 2 minute thing it took so much time, why?

Is university open? Yes, it's open during Corona situation. Just don't forget mask and try visiting after lunch break, that is, at 2 pm. Because they would mostly not entertain you before 1. Either they're lazily sitting with having zero knowledge or just ignoring your scenario.

What things are mandatory? Avoid visiting on Saturdays Be sure what are you looking for : • University has around 35 buildings and it's not easy to run from one to place to another carrying one query. • For eg: if you don't have correct numbers in your marksheet, ask where is result building or check it on the map displayed on the lanes. 80% people speak here Marathi, if you speak Marathi your work is done quickly.

Why do people face problems while solving their situation? As I said earlier, make a list of things you're looking for. Have clarity in what you're speaking with the person in the inquiry counter. Ask for sending you to the HOD, things might get easy because they know solutions to your problems and are knowledgeable. Not just sitting and filling their pockets. Yes, you might face a situation where you are sent from window to window, read which department are you visiting to.

What is the visiting hours in Corona situation? University is open from 10 am - 6 pm. Avoid Saturdays, Bank holidays, festivals. Dont forget to check if people have gone on strike. Or else your trip would be wasted. Avoid asking for queries via telephone they'd either neglect you or not receive the call.

You don't speak Marathi? Ask for HOD in the inquiry counter of any building, surely HOD's would speak with you in English or Hindi. Take someone with you who speaks Marathi.

You've come to Mumbai University from far away? Come at 10, probably your work would be done till 3 or 4 pm

You have a gap in my educational years and want to do PG? If you wish to do PG from IDOL you'd probably not require gap certificate, mostly you would if you do it otherwise.

What precautions are taken during this situation? Very fees buildings have taken precautions like, they ask one person at a time to go inside. There's marking on the floor (6 feet) If you're pregnant or aren't well, don't worry, they have benches in the entrance of few buildings.

HOPE THIS HAS HELPED YOU :)

THANKS!

Why did I give 3 stars? Just because the University is so huge, a lot can be done, good infrastructure, quality learning, infarct it can also become best university in the world. But thanks to the poor service they're offering which makes me deduct...

The Kalina campus of the University of Mumbai sprawls across a significant 243 acres in Santacruz East, providing a welcome green lung within the bustling metropolis of Mumbai.

However, recurring criticisms point to administrative hurdles, including slow processes and unhelpful staff, as well as occasional issues with the examination system.

Subject: Proposal for Implementing a Proactive Update System for IDOL Students

Dear [Recipient's Name],

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to address a recurring issue that many IDOL (Distance Learning) students, including myself, have encountered regarding updates and information dissemination. Currently, when contacting the helpline for inquiries, we often receive irrelevant or vague responses, such as "the forms window may open next week," which leads to confusion and frustration among students.

To address this issue and enhance communication and transparency, I propose the implementation of a proactive update system for IDOL students. This system would involve regularly sending out updates and important information via email to all registered students. These updates could include exam timetables, repeater exam details, forms submission dates, and any other relevant information pertaining to academic activities.

Additionally, I suggest creating stream-wise sections within these updates to ensure that students receive information that is specific to their academic programs. This would streamline communication and ensure that students are informed about important deadlines and events that directly affect them.

By implementing a proactive update system, we can significantly improve the student experience and reduce the need for students to rely solely on helpline assistance for information. This would not only enhance student satisfaction but also contribute to a more efficient and organized learning environment.

I urge you to consider this proposal and explore the feasibility of implementing such a system for the benefit of all...
