Mumbai University — over 6 months to get a convocation certificate

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400 001

First you apply for a original convocation certificate, they say wait for 3 months and it will be mailed to your residence, they charge you ₹ 305 -

After 3 months, when you do not receive your certificate, on checking physically, you find out that they have posted the original a few years back, you check the date of their posting and you realise that nobody was at residence at that time so the posted certificate is lost in transit.

Now you feel guilty, that it is your fault, so the punishment follows - Mumbai University tells me that I must go to a local police station and get a FIR about my missing original Convocation Certificate and also a advocate stamped letter stating the same.

Once you submit both those FIR and Advocate letter.

They charge you another ₹ 370 and wait again for another 3 months to get a duplicate Convocation Certificate.

I have visited the University at Kalina over 15 times so far and that too, just to move the papers from one table to another table within the same room.

It's much easier to get a death and birth certificate in Mumbai all within a week after registration and with payment of ₹ 20 only.

Isn't it obvious to the world, why Mumbai University would like to delay your certificate.

Thanking you
