But I plan to visit both the Fort and Kalina campuses of the university and understand the issues,” Shinde had told Hindustan Times after taking over the responsibility of the university.While most of the results are now out, the results of at least 12,000 candidates are yet to be declared. The Indian Express quoted Rao as asking the university to “expeditiously" declare all the remaining results.

"Out of 477 subjects, results of 14 are still to be out. Even after 100 days of examinations, the university is still struggling to announce the results. The institution has so far announced the results for 463 subjects," a 19 September article on Firstpost had noted.
