The Bombay High Court allowed 751 engineering students of Savitribai Phule Pune University to appear for third and fourth-year exams under interim relief linked to the “Carry On” system. The court said the students’ results would remain subject to the final outcome of the pending legal challenge against the policy.

Mumbai, May 18: The Bombay High Court on Monday allowed 751 students from Savitribai Phule Pune University to appear for their third and fourth-year examinations scheduled in May 2026, while clarifying that their results would remain subject to the final outcome of an ongoing petition challenging the “Carry On” system.

Petition challenges revised ‘Carry On’ policy

The main writ petition questions the legality of a Government Resolution issued on February 10, 2025, and University Circular No. 209, through which the State and the university reintroduced and expanded the “Carry On” policy.

Under the revised policy, engineering students were allowed to take provisional admission to the next academic year despite having backlogs from previous years, subject to certain conditions.
