Jodhpur’s MBM Engineering University is embroiled in controversy after publishing exam results showing students scoring up to 120 marks in a paper officially worth 100. 

The startling error, which briefly appeared on the university website, left students stunned, confused, and demanding accountability.

The results, intended as a routine announcement for BE second-semester students, quickly turned into a public embarrassment for the university. 

When students flagged the discrepancy, the administration removed the marks without offering any explanation, intensifying concerns about transparency and administrative oversight.

Students question University’s credibility

This incident is not isolated. Students allege that MBM University has a history of mishandling results, citing past delays in degree distribution, mark corrections, and data inconsistencies.

Sources suggest the latest error occurred during grade sheet compilation, when internal marks were mistakenly uploaded alongside non-internal marks. “It’s shocking how careless the administration is,” said one student. “No verification was done before releasing the results online.”

Affected students are now scrambling to obtain corrected marksheets, frustrated that an entirely administrative lapse has disrupted their academic records.

University admits error, shifts blame to testing agency

Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ajay Sharma acknowledged the mistake, explaining that internal marks were accidentally uploaded for 15–20 minutes while the testing agency conducted checks. “The results were immediately removed once the error was noticed,” Sharma said, adding that the responsible agency has been issued a notice. 

The state government has requested a factual report, which the university claims has already been submitted by the registrar.

NSUI demands accountability

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has joined the protests. Led by Jodhpur District President Dr. Bablu Solanki, student leaders submitted a memorandum to the Vice-Chancellor demanding accountability and corrective action within three days.

“This is a case of gross negligence,” said Solanki. “How can results be uploaded without basic cross-verification?”

With government scrutiny intensifying and student protests gaining momentum, all eyes are on MBM University’s next move — and whether this incident will finally force much-needed reforms in the institution’s examination system.
