Pradeep Sawant, one of the senate members, said that many students are unaware of the intricacies of the university administration, which makes it difficult for them to get in touch with the correct authority. “They are often clueless as to whom to approach for their queries,” he said. The senate members also suggested outsourcing the working of the helpline to a BPO centre. “Along with the basic information about exam schedule, re-evaluation, distance learning, and document verification, the BPO can also answer more complex queries after consulting the relevant university official,” said Sawant.
