What Is Photocopy?

A Photocopy As the name suggests is a Xerox/Scan of your corrected answer sheet.

When Should I Apply for a Photocopy?


Consider you’ve written a paper well, but have received fewer marks than you expected. 
A Photocopy is a solution to see how your paper was corrected. 
Remember the person who is Correcting Your Paper is human, not only is he under stress but he’s given a fuck load of answer sheets to correct in a day. In such situations, miscalculation and mistakes may take place.
If you come across any such error when you go through you photocopy you should talk to your exam cell in a calm manner. They will be very happy to help you out.

How to Apply for photocopy?

The procedure to Apply for photocopy is simple. 
You go to your college and fill a form; attach the copy of the exam paper and pay the Fee for photocopy. The Fee Usually ranges from Rs.50 – Rs.100 per paper.

Where and When Will the Photocopy Arrive?

The photocopy usually arrives within 1-2 weeks of applying. 
Depending on whom conducts your examination your photocopy will either be lying in the Exam Cell or Will have been e-mailed to you.
Regularly check both these places.

What is Revaluation?

Revaluation is the biggest scam in Mumbai University, Their Biggest moneymaker, A Pure Racket.
Revaluation is also a Gable. Let me break it down for you.
Revaluation is Exactly what the name means, it means the Re-Valuation of your exam papers.
When You Apply for it your corrected Answer Paper is Whitened (i.e. the previous corrector's markings are whitewashed) and a new Examiner shall correct your paper. 
Revaluation examiner are usually lovely people who know the responsibility on their shoulder and will shower marks if you have written something. Anything.

PLEASE MAKES SURE YOUR PAPER IS FILLED, IT MIGHT BE IRRELEVANT BUT IT COUNTS A LOT DURING REVAL CORRECTION.

Coming back to the topic, the Marks given by the Examiner will be enough to Pass you in the case you’ve filled your Paper.
He or She will at least bring you to 24 marks to be applicable for Grace.

When to Apply for Revaluation?

  • Considering you failed in a subject but were sure you had written enough to pass; you can give your paper for Reval.
  • Anyone unhappy with the marks they’ve receive can also apply for their papers to be corrected again.

Is there a Criteria for Revaluation?

Yes, You need above 7 marks to apply for Reval.

How Should I Apply for Revaluation?

Remember when I said Revaluation is the biggest scam happening in MU?

Just like you go to your college and fill the Photocopy form. 
Revaluation has its own form that needs to be filled. The form must be submitted with the Xerox of the question paper of the Subject, you’re applying revaluation in, along with a modest fee of only Rs.500 per paper.

How long does it take for the revaluation results to come out?

Remember when I said that Reval is the biggest Scam in MU? (LOL)

So, one of the reasons Revaluation is the Gamble is that sometimes in very few cases the result comes after the KT paper, and on most occasions after the last date to apply for the KT Examination. 

So, it’s a humble request to apply for the KT paper nonetheless. The Fees are Refundable if you Clear the Revaluation.

Coming Back to the Topic Revaluation Marks take 2-3-4 weeks. It's unpredictable
The marks can be found on this website:


I would advise you to stalk this website like mechanical student stalk …. Well … Girls.

I Have Passed and want to Apply For Reval to Increase my Marks?

Bhai Mat Kar Yaar
Revaluation a gamble.
I had a friend who had got 50+ in a subject and wanted more marks, he applied for Reval and was given a KT.

Kalina ke Do Chakar Khaane pade Bichaare ko.

But still, if you feel you want to try your luck or you’re sure you’ll get more marks I'll add this for you and hope you do get the marks you deserve.

If you fail in the Revaluation you can use the Ordinance 5048-A of Mumbai University. 
There is a clause in it stating that in such a situation you can request your principle to request the Vice Chancellor for a 3rd correction of your examination paper. If your principle grants your request and the vice chancellor grants the principles request, then a corrector will be resourced to your paper, he will be informed of how big a chutya you were and in all knowledge shall correct your questions paper. All you can do is go to every mosque, church and Temple and pray you he passes you cause that was the last card you had and his say will be the last say
