Mumbai: Mumbai University students reaching late for their exams owing to the ongoing motormen strike were today allowed to appear for their papers and were given the full stipulated three hours to complete it.

Students in three centres arrived late by two hours and were given full three hours to write their exams, he said.
On Monday, the university conducted 40 examinations and because of the disruption of suburban rail services students walked in late in several centres, Shinde said adding that no
exams are scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday.
