Hall Ticket - Do's and Dont's (University of Mumbai)

The University of Mumbai provides hall tickets to all eligible candidates via its website.

There are two options:

1. You take a print out of your Hall Ticket

2. Your College takes a print out of your Hall Ticket and Distributes the same duly signed.

Note: 

DO's

Please see that the print out is a clear one.

Affix a recent passport sized photograph

The Hall Ticket must be signed / stamped with the signature of the Head of the Institution / Principal.

You will also need to sign the Hall Ticket

Take a photocopy (xerox copy) of the Hall Ticket and keep it safely. (This is especially important for those who tend to lose stuff easily)

Some Hall tickets have provision for signature of the examination supervisor at the center of the exam and the signature has to be taken on the day of the exam (during the exam). This is very important as it is proof of your attendance.

DONT's

Do not write anything unnecessary on your hall ticket

Hall tickets are your ticket to the exam... Do not fold it such that the printing gets distorted.

Hall tickets are a MUST for you to answer the exam... Do not leave for an exam without checking to see whether you have carried your hall ticket with you

Wish each one of you All the Best with the exams!!!

Arab Spring

In December 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi, a Tunisian Street Food Vendor, set himself on fire. He did this to protest harassment by municipal authorities. This single act became the well known trigger for the protests which led to the overthrowing / ousting of the Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

Tunisia was simply the opening act of the Arab Spring, a long running drama that changed the History of the Middle East and North Africa in 2011 and 2012.

The reasons for the unrest in this region (as pointed out by analysts) are:

- corrupt dictatorships
- the rising expectations and frustrations of the large populations of unemployed and underemployed youth
- the catalytic role of social media like twitter and facebook.

The root cause however was the sharply rising food prices. The rising commodity prices provided the reason for the Uprising or the Arab Spring.

The rise in local food prices led to bread riots across Bahrain, Jordan, Yemen, Egypt and Morocco.

A month before the fall of the Egyptian and Tunisian regimes, the United Nations reported record high prices for meat, dairy, sugar and cereal, in 2011.
