On Saturday, December 5, the second merit list for admissions to first-year junior college (FYJC) was released by the state education department.
In this list, the students have been included in the open group category without applying for separate reservation for the Maratha category. As a result, the eligibility points for the second round in the Mumbai metropolitan area have increased by about 5 points compared to the first round.
In the second round of admissions, 76,231 students have been admitted to college. However, 79,579 students are still waiting for admission. After the first round of admissions, the process was halted as a result of interim suspension on the Maratha reservation. However, while the state government has revealed that admissions to all courses will now take place without the 12 per cent SEBC quota, it has also clarified through its recent government resolution (GR) that admissions confirmed under SEBC quota during the first round, which took place before September 9, will remain intact.
Moreover, of around the 1.58 lakh students who had applied, a total of 76,231 students were allotted seats in the second round. Of them, 20,371 were allotted the college of their first preference.
