Class X students can start filling the option form online from Wednesday. Several students have already filled part one of the form, which has personal details. Students have to list a minimum 35 colleges in their option form.
The option form is divided into three parts. Starting with the Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR),where students have to fill minimum of 15 colleges, they then have to fill in names of preferred colleges in their zones (minimum 15) and lastly they have to fill a minimum of five colleges in their wards.
Students cannot repeat names of colleges in any part. According to an education department official, students should be very careful in filling up the option form and should check last year’s cut-off of those colleges before hand. Students should not go for colleges with higher cut-offs if they have scored less, added the official. The computer will consider the colleges in serial order of options filled, he added.
Even though the deputy director’s office is trying its level best to have a glitch-free online admission system this season, students and parents are encountering problems. A parent of a student from Vasai said, There are only two colleges in my ward. So it is not possible for me to fill a minimum of five colleges. What if the computer disqualifies me
However, the official clarified that if there are fewer colleges in the ward than the minimum requirement, the computer will accept the form. If the ward or zones have colleges which students have not mentioned in the list, the computer will prompt the student to fill in more names. If there are fewer colleges in the list, students should ensure they fill in all available options.
