Traffic snarls caused by a local protest at Powai disrupted the Mumbai University LLM entrance exam Friday at Aurum IT Park. Candidates arriving late or facing minor registration issues were denied entry, frustrating students who travelled from distant areas and took leave from work. Around 30 affected candidates have written to the Vice-Chancellor.
Mumbai: Candidates who appeared for the Mumbai University LLM entrance examination on Friday created chaos at the examination centre located at Aurum IT Park in Powai after several students were denied entry to the test owing to traffic jammed roads.
Aarey route blocked by protesters and police
The entrance examination was scheduled to commence at 4.30 pm. However, a number of candidates claimed they were unable to reach the venue on time due to severe traffic congestion in the Powai area and were subsequently barred from entering the examination hall.
According to students, traffic movement was severely affected because of a protest in the vicinity. “There was heavy traffic on the Powai road due to a protest. The route through Aarey was blocked by protesters and police personnel, leaving many students stranded for a long time,” said Siddhant Bankar, one of the affected candidates.
