- Marie Fernandes, Principal, St. Andrews College, Bandra – She affirmed that the college would abide by the circular published on March 4.

Nonetheless, she added that the exam papers were set with MCQs and Descriptive questions.
- Vinod Patil, Director of Board of Examination & Evaluation (BoEE), MU – Declared that the state Government ruled what MU had earlier recommended, i.e., the mode of examination will be offline.

- Uday Samant, Maharashtra Higher & Technical Education Minister – He held a meeting with the Vice-Chancellors of all state universities. After the meeting, they concluded that this year’s summer university exams will be held offline.
As colleges expressed fear of change, the authorities reaffirmed that they would not introduce further changes. In February, MU announced that it would conduct some university exams online and others offline. However, they changed that through their circular in March. Moreover, the circular stated that the 6th semester exams for traditional courses would be held online. Meanwhile, the other exams for professional courses will be held offline.
