Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL), Mumbai will be conducting independent examination form March 2013. The decision was taken at a Board of Examination (BoE) meeting. The IDOL was part of Mumbai University for several years. With the recent decision uncertainty among students under distance education scheme in the current TYBcom batch is answered.


Though the results will be declared by the university, the examination process has been completely decentralised. The date, time, question papers and the exam centres for over 60,000 students of IDOL's undergraduate and post-graduate courses will be different from the ones in regular colleges.


Subhash Deo, director of examinations of the university, said, "The paper pattern of the exam has changed for regular students. Also, in the regular course, students will be appearing for the exam in the new credit-based semester system. While students of the regular course are attempting 60-mark paper, IDOL students have to appear for a 100-mark paper."
