Why were the Mumbai University exams 2024 postponed?
This decision comes as Mumbai is struggling with the constant monsoon rainfall. A red alert has been issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), with severe rainfall expected throughout the day. Authorities have decided to close all schools in the city due to the significant disruptions caused by the incessant rain.
A high tide of 4.40 metres is anticipated later today at 1:57 PM, according to IMD forecasts, further raising concerns about flooding and travel disruptions. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) schools, government schools, and all private schools and colleges in Mumbai will also remain closed today for the second academic session in order to minimize disruptions and ensure the safety of students in light of the weather.
