Mumbai LLB Crisis: 5 Major Hall Ticket Glitches Leave Students Unable to Write Final Exams
A major hall ticket glitch in Mumbai has prevented several LLB students from appearing for their final exams
Lack of administrative planning has once again disrupted examinations for law students in Mumbai. A group of 3-year and 5-year LLB students from Nalanda Law College in Borivli were unable to take their final year exams on Monday due to missing hall tickets.
Despite receiving exam timetables well in advance, students said the exam portal links — used to access past results and download hall tickets — were sent only last Thursday. “Many of us were unable to log in to those portals. Over the weekend, our college officials kept reassuring us that the hall tickets would turn up,” said Shel Sarawgi, an LLB student.
When the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) exams were scheduled at 10.30 am, students were asked to report to the college instead to collect hall tickets from the security guard. “While some students got theirs, we were told ours were on the way. Even at 10.45 am, we were waiting at our college gates instead of being at our exam centres,” she added.
With the labour law exam slated for Wednesday and no clarity on hall tickets, students remain in limbo. “Many 5-year LLB students were sent to sit at their centres while teachers rushed with hall tickets. Even after that, they were asked to wait due to problems with the QR codes on answer sheets. My hall ticket never showed up, and it has left me troubled,” said another student on condition of anonymity.
When mid-day contacted authorities, Prof Milind S Gajadhane, local secretary of the college, said, “These are technical glitches that didn’t allow students to generate hall tickets. Students possibly changed their login passwords, which led to this problem. We are in touch with Mumbai University and will meet them tomorrow. We intend to resolve the issue before the next examination.”
On the delayed answer sheet barcodes, Gajadhane added, “These are central administrative issues faced at centres across the city. We hope to smooth things out in the next examination.” Officials from Mumbai University said, “Their admission was not done on the university portal by the college; naturally, hall tickets could not be given.”
In another part of the city, 5-year LLB students appeared for exams at Siddharth College of Law in Fort, but the barcodes on answer sheets — which carry student details — arrived late. “The students still had their answer sheets even after exam time ended, which could give others an unfair advantage. Many approached YuvaSena, and we will soon speak to university officials to address this mismanagement,” said Pradeep Sawant, YuvaSena member.
Siddharth College officials said Mumbai University was to send around 170 students to their centre, and seating arrangements were made accordingly. Additional students were assigned just before exams, leaving the college unprepared. Despite this, all students were able to take their papers on Monday at the centre. Officials from Mumbai University said the delay in barcodes happened because the colleges concerned did not submit the necessary student data to the university on time
A shocking technical glitch in Mumbai has left several LLB students unable to appear for their final examinations, causing widespread frustration, anxiety, and anger among students and parents. What should have been a routine and crucial day for law aspirants turned into chaos as dozens of students discovered that their hall tickets were missing, incorrect, or inaccessible, preventing them from entering examination centers.
For many students, these final-year exams determine eligibility for internships, advanced studies, legal certifications, and future career plans. With such high stakes, even a minor administrative error can lead to massive consequences. Unfortunately, this incident was far from minor—it affected hundreds of students across multiple colleges, and the impact was immediate and severe.
The issue surfaced early in the morning when students attempted to download or print their hall tickets from the university portal. Many were met with a range of unexpected problems:
Hall tickets not showing on the portal
Incorrect details such as wrong exam dates or subjects
Hall tickets linked to wrong student profiles
Portal showing “No exam scheduled” despite eligibility
QR codes or barcodes not scanning at exam centers
As students reached the exam venues, they were denied entry due to the missing or invalid documents. With exam protocols strictly enforced, supervisors had no choice but to refuse admission, even though the fault lay entirely with technical and administrative lapses.
For many students, this exam season marks the completion of a three-year or five-year journey in law school. Being turned away at the final moment left them stunned and heartbroken.
Several students took to social media to express their frustration:
“We prepared for months, and now a website error has ruined everything.”
“Why should we suffer for the university’s mistake?”
“My hall ticket showed a different subject—I had no option but to go home.”
Parents also voiced concern, calling the situation “unfair,” “mismanaged,” and “mentally exhausting” for their children.
Many colleges were unaware of the glitch until students began contacting faculty members in panic. Some staff attempted to communicate with exam authorities on students’ behalf, but the rules prevented any last-minute accommodations without valid hall tickets.
Internal chaos also erupted as colleges struggled to compile lists of affected students and report them to the university. The sudden breakdown exposed the lack of a proper contingency plan and highlighted long-standing issues with the examination portal.
Student groups and parents are demanding:
A re-exam for all affected students
Official acknowledgement of the mistake
Immediate re-issuance of correct hall tickets
A thorough investigation into the technical failure
Compensation for academic loss and mental stress
Several student unions have threatened protests if the university fails to respond promptly.
At the time of writing, students claim that communication from the university has been slow and unclear. Without a concrete statement or solution, anxiety continues to rise. Education activists argue that the university needs to take accountability and provide immediate relief.
