Image:University Of Mumbai.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

this is really bad that both DU and this article are way behind in quality if compared with University of Calcutta. --Onef9day Talk! 10:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
It needs alphabetization.Dogru144 (talk) 16:33, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
In the previous few years it has seen 104% increase in undergraduates, 112% increase in post-graduate students and 147% increase in distance education students. There is 156% increase in the number of research papers published in international journals. Twelve department/ sections are recognized under national programmes such as SAP, CAS, DRS, DSA, COSIST, FIST. More than 80 teachers are on professional bodies. Eighteen national/ international awards were won by teachers in the last five years. Every year about 20 teachers visit abroad for academic activities. Recently more than 10 self-supporting courses have been started by the university.
Interesting set of stats here (last para of the introduction). They need references and also need to be elaborated. Rohini (talk) 11:39, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
A lot of the content on this page has been plagiarised from the primary source, i.e., the official website of Mumbai University. For example, the "History" section has been copied from http://www.mu.ac.in/History.html. I have tried to copy edit this as much as possible, but clearly more needs to be done. The article relies heavily on the primary source, which is the university website. We need more secondary and reliable sources. Rohini (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
The article introduction claims that the University of Mumbai is the "largest university in the world by number of graduates". I highly doubt this, and would like to see a valid reference or citation supporting such a claim. if unsupported, this sentence should be removed. --EngineeringGuy (talk) 20:03, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
I suggest the sections on Departments, Vice Chancellors and "Notable Alumni" be moved to separate lists in the interest of brevity. Also, each of them needs reliable, third-party citations. -- Rohini (talk) 23:49, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
