CAP Committee mulling to conduct another round for FYJC admission

The committee is expected to make this decision soon as approximately 76,734 students did not get admissions even though there is a vacancy of 1.88 lakh seats, i.e. 34.56% of the intake. 

FYJC Admissions: Centralised Admission Process Committee is mulling to conduct another round for first-year junior college admissions. The committee is expected to make this decision soon as approximately 76,734 students did not get admissions even though there is a vacancy of 1.88 lakh seats, 34.56% of the intake, in colleges in the six divisions of Pune, Mumbai, Aurangabad, Nashik, Amravati and Nagpur after the process for First-year Junior College (FYJC) admissions via the centralised admission concluded on January 31.

According to a committee official, the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) committee got triggered by the high number and decided to hold another final round. This year, the authority conducted three regular rounds, two special rounds and seven first-come-first-served rounds for the admissions. In Pune, 36,000 seats (34.4%) remained vacant while 16,670 students did not get admissions against an intake of over 1.07 lakh seats.

Talking about the outcome of the first six-round, A S Ukirde, deputy director of education for Pune division, said, “There are many students who confirmed their admissions online but did not upload the documents or did not get an allotment at all. There are students who thought their admission was confirmed and did not apply in the first-come-first-served round. Parents have been coming to our office seeking an extension of dates. We sought permission from the director for an additional round which has been permitted and would be announced in a day or two.”

Meanwhile, several complaints are being received from parents complaining about colleges seeking full fees and not giving the option of payment in installments.
