Middle-aged city couple clears SSC, 21-year-old son overjoyed
Mumbai: After nearly three decades of wait, Vinod More (51) and wife Sadhna Dhotre (43) cleared their SSC board exams, scoring 41% and 55.4%, respectively —a dream they once thought was out of had dropped out after Class 7. Sadhna lost her parents young and moved from Raigad to Vikhroli, where she struggled with a new school system and eventually left education behind. Vinod, born and raised in Mumbai, left school to pursue his passion for painting. The couple married, raised a family, and worked tirelessly—Sadhna as a domestic worker and Vinod as a driver. Sadhna also cared for her late brother's 2 children along with her own son (now 21), who is working while studying for TYBCom. During the Covid-19 pandemic, a friend told Sadhna about a nearby night school. Encouraged, the couple enrolled and, over three years, completed Class 8, 9 and 10—all while working full time. Vinod continued studying even through spinal issues. Their son was overjoyed. "We've always dreamed of opening a hotel. I think that will be our next step," said Sadhna. — Aaliyah Berchman

55% TYBCom pass MU exams, those without unique IDs do not get results
Mumbai: Mumbai University announced the TYBCom results in a record 13 working days. It, however, withheld the results of students who had not registered with the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC).This year, the university has decided not to issue degree certificates, too, to students who do not have their unique ID on ABC. Meanwhile, of the close to 54,000 students who appeared for the semester VI exams this year, around 55.5% cleared it, an improvement of 12% from the previous year. Last year only a little over 43% students cleared their semester VI exams. This is the first time after the pandemic that the success rate of TYBCom has crossed the 50% the results announced on Tuesday, 15,445 students passed and 16,521 students' results were withheld. A new category was introduced in list of results held in reserve for absence of an ID on the ABC, which has been termed as RRA. Earlier results were withheld also for not clearing lower examinations among other things. A principal from a suburban college said that the students whose results have been withheld can see their scores in all subjects, but not their cumulative grade point average (CGPA).The ABC ID or the unique ID is crucial for students as it allowed the details of their earned credits to be made available on the DigiLocker, which is essential for further education or validation purposes. The complete academic details of students will be securely stored in the ABC and can be accessed throughout their educational journey. The ID is mandatory to link data with govt systems like DigiLocker, National Academic Depository, the degree certificates will not be issued without the ABC ID, the university has urged colleges to encourage students to create their account and added that the university has issued several circulars, notices and also held meetings with colleges asking them to upload students' ABC IDs on the university portal. Since some colleges have failed to upload the data, the results have been withheld, said a university statement.
