Students From Other Boards Start Filling In Options Forms

The online admission process for junior colleges which will kick off a day after the secondary school certificate (SSC) results are announced on June 13is expected to be tied up within 35 to 45 days.

T Shiware, principal of Hinduja College and member of the government-appointed online committee, said,Colleges are expected to complete admissions under the various reservation and in-house quotas within 10 days of the announcement of SSC results.We are hopeful the admission process will be over within 35 to 45 days.

Meanwhile, around 1,000 students from other boards have already completed filling options forms online.

Officials said the online admission procedure will be smoother this year as students wont have to wait for the hard copy of their mark sheets to start applying. Also, only three merit lists will be announced online for the three streams Arts, Science and Commerce. Admissions to bifocal subjects will take place offline after the online admissions are tied up.
The schedule will be a little different from the previous two years because of the changes proposed by the online committee this year. We have prepared the schedule and are waiting for the final nod from the department before disclosing it to students, said a senior official at the office of the deputy director of education (schools).

Since the reforms proposed by the online committee were approved only in March, the printing and distribution of admission booklets was delayed. However, training sessions have already been conducted for school authorities as well as students. Our guidance centres are working throughout the day to solve any queries that students have. This process will be smoother than the previous three years, said the official.
The first of the two-part admission form was made available to applicants in the first week of May. Students are expected to fill their basic details in the first part of the form while Part-II (options form) requires the total marks, choice of colleges and so on to be filled. Even state board students are allowed to fill the options forms but it will be accepted by the system after June 14, added the official.
