Officials clarified that students who have not been allotted a college in any of the previous rounds, or those who wish to change their admission, might participate in this special round. 'In the 'Open for All' round, students can apply to colleges where seats are still vacant,' said an official from the education department. 'The detailed schedule for this round will be shared on Sunday on the official FYJC admission website.' Despite completing four rounds, nearly 39% of the total applicants are still waiting for college allotment. In the Mumbai division alone, about 50,000 students are yet to get admitted. An official explained, 'Some students did not get admission because they selected only a few specific colleges while filling out their preferences. Now, they will get a chance to select from colleges where seats are still available, based on their marks.' The education department has advised students to be careful while submitting their applications. They will need to fill in their details, attach their mark sheet, and list the colleges they prefer in order of choice. The selected college will also verify and confirm this information online.
