The University of Mumbai (MU) has never reviewed its digital platform that is used to send question papers to its colleges, leaving it susceptible to malpractices, a report by an internal committee has revealed. The Digital Exam Paper Delivery System (DEPDS) was introduced in 2013 after a series of paper leaks. In its seven-page report, the one-member committee also revealed that colleges were unaware of security measures required for the delivery system, said a source. Arjun Ghatule, in-charge director, board of examination and evaluation at MU, said, “The university’s paper delivery system is perfect, but one can’t do much if there’s human involvement. I have already appointed two committees, consisting of computer experts, to check whether colleges are meeting the technical norms of the paper delivery system.
