Over five lakh candidates have confirmed admission to Class 11 under the first round of First Year Junior College (FYJC) admissions in Maharashtra, which concluded by Monday evening. This was notified by the Office of the Deputy Director of Education (DyDE), along with the declaration of the schedule for the second round which will start on July 10.
As per the schedule, candidates can upgrade their applications, which includes editing any information or rearranging of preference order of colleges, in the second round from July 10 to July 13.
The second merit list for FYJC admissions will be declared on July 17. Candidates who are allotted seats in this merit list can confirm admissions from July 18 to 21. The information on the vacant list for the third round of CAP for FYJC will be published on July 23.
Out of the 5,08,096 candidates who have confirmed admissions in the first round, 4,32,287 came under the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) and 75,809 confirmed their seats under various quotas such as minority, management, and in-house, officials said.
Among eight divisions for FYJC admissions across the state, the highest number of 91,001 is recorded in Pune; followed by the Mumbai division with 87,558 admissions. With 32,856 confirmations, the Latur division has the lowest number of admissions in the first round of FYJC.
Out of total admissions confirmed in the first round of FYJC, the highest number of admissions – 2,35,506 – is in the science stream; followed by Arts stream with 1,17,447 confirmed admissions. In the Commerce stream, 79,334 admissions have been confirmed.
Following multiple delays due to technical and other issues, the first merit list for FYJC admissions was declared on June 28. Candidates who were allotted seats in the merit list were given time until July 7 to confirm admissions. It was mandatory for candidates to confirm admission if allotted a seat in the first preferred college.
'If they have failed to do so, such candidates will be out of the CAP for the second round. Whereas all other candidates who may have decided to wait for a better seat allotment will get a chance to reshuffle their college preferences for the second round,' said an officer overseeing the FYJC admissions.
The officer also added that colleges offering minority or other quota seats are also informed that they will get to surrender their quota seats to CAP if they want to. 'If there are applications for admission under quota in the upcoming round, those seats will be given priority,' said the official.
