Slashing
revaluation charges by 50% has not really seen a dip in the revenue of the
University of Mumbai, which raked in Rs 4.8 crore in 2016-17. By the end of
2017, the collection for the first semester was already Rs 1.97 crore.
Use of the
Right to Information (RTI) Act by activist Vihar Durve revealed that the
additional charge levied for a photocopy earned the university Rs 15.3 lakh in
2016-17 and Rs 7.9 lakh in the first half of 2017-18. This, after slashing the
revaluation and photocopying charges by 50%. The charge for revaluation after
the discount is Rs 250, and to obtain an answer script photocopy a student
needs to pay Rs 50.
In the
previous three years, the university earned Rs 7.9 crore as revaluation and
photocopying charges. That is when the revaluation charge was Rs 500 and the
photocopy cost was Rs 100.
