Fifteen students were injured following a "commotion" during a function at Mithibai College in suburban Vile Parle on Thursday evening, a civic official said.
While initial reports suggested that there was a stampede, an official of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said it was not a stampede but a minor incident caused by panic.
Boys from the neighbourhood thronged the college auditorium during a singing performance and some students complained of suffocation which led to people running helter-skelter, said the official from the BMC's Disaster Management Unit.
Injured students were taken to the nearby hospital.
