More than 94K students book FYJC berths


More than 94K students book FYJC berths 


Admissions to the first round of online junior college admissions ended on Saturday evening. According to figures submitted by the office of the deputy director of education (schools),94,235 students from across all boards in the Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR) had secured their admissions with colleges that they were allotted in the first merit list.

Since colleges are not working on Sunday, we have given them time to update their admissions as well as surrender vacant seats by Monday afternoon. So the total number of students who have sought admissions in the first round might increase by Monday, said a senior official from the deputy directors office. Altogether of the 1.92 lakh applications received online,1.64 lakh students were allotted seats in the first round of online admissions out of which 94,235 students have confirmed admissions. Close to 89,000 seats are still vacant. However, those vying for seats in the top city colleges might be disappointed.

Almost 90-95 % of our seats have been taken so we have few seats left for the second round of admissions, said Sunil Mantri, principal of NM College. Similarly seats at HR and Jai Hind Colleges are almost full leaving very few seats for the second merit list. Colleges can start admissions for bifocal seats internally only after July 12,as ordered by the education department.

The seats surrendered by the colleges by Monday will once again be available for the second round of admissions. The second online merit list will be announced on July 4 at 5pm.
