Mumbai University (MU) has recalled all of the convocation certificates they distributed to the students who graduated in the 2023-24 batch. The university found out that there was a spelling error in their logo on the certificate. On the logo, it was written ‘University of Mumabai’ instead of ‘University of Mumbai.’ The MU assured its students that all the copies would be replaced soon.

Announcing its goof-up, MU issued a notice on March 4 and said that the new certificates would be delivered to the students soon.

"It has come to the notice of the Mumbai University that in the convocation certificates of 2023-24, a spelling error in the name of the University has occurred in the logo on the certificate. The University is replacing the certificates," the notice reads.

The university further stated that the colleges who have already distributed the certificates to the students have been asked to collect the old certificates and return them.
