New Delhi.: In a shocking administrative blunder, MBM Engineering University, Jodhpur awarded students as high as 120 marks in a 100-mark paper, sparking mass outrage, student protests, and a government inquiry. The error has raised serious questions about the university’s result-verification system and academic transparency.

Marks Go Beyond Maximum: Students Left Confused

The results, briefly available on the university’s official website, stunned students when they noticed marks exceeding the maximum possible score. Several BE second-semester students received up to 120 marks in a paper worth 100 marks, prompting disbelief and criticism.

When students flagged the issue, the administration swiftly took down the results without offering any official clarification, further fueling anger among the student community.

“This shows how careless the administration is,” said one student. “No one verified the marks before uploading them online.”

Students also allege this is not the first time MBM University has mishandled results — citing past incidents of mark corrections, degree delays, and data mismatches.

University Admits Error, Blames Testing Agency

Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ajay Sharma admitted the error, clarifying that internal marks were accidentally uploaded during a system test conducted by an external agency.

“Internal marks were uploaded accidentally for 15–20 minutes while testing was underway. The results were immediately removed once the error was detected,”
— Prof. Ajay Sharma, Vice-Chancellor, MBM Engineering University

Sharma added that a notice has been issued to the testing agency, and the state government has requested a factual report, which has since been submitted by the university registrar.

NSUI Demands Accountability

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has stepped in, demanding immediate accountability from the university administration.
Under the leadership of Dr. Bablu Solanki, Jodhpur District President of NSUI, student leaders submitted a memorandum to the Vice-Chancellor seeking action within three days.

“This is gross negligence. How could results be uploaded without basic cross-verification?”
— Dr. Bablu Solanki, NSUI District President

Government Seeks Detailed Report

The Rajasthan government has taken note of the issue and sought a comprehensive report from the university. Officials are now examining how the error occurred and whether systemic weaknesses contributed to the blunder.

With students demanding transparency and accountability, and political organizations joining the protest, the incident has placed MBM University’s examination process under intense scrutiny.

What Lies Ahead

As protests grow and investigations continue, all eyes are now on MBM Engineering University’s response. Students are hopeful this controversy will push the institution toward long-overdue reforms in its evaluation and result management systems.
