On Monday, December 28, as the cut-offs for the junior college admissions witnessed a dip, prominent colleges witnessed a dip of 16 and 11 percentage points for the two streams respectively, as compared to that of the third merit list which came out on December 15.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, out of the 68,178 students who had applied for seats across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) in the special round, 59,322 were allotted colleges on Monday. Every student who wanted to participate in the round had to give consent through the portal in order to make sure that the students who have secured admissions elsewhere are not allotted seats again, as per the state education department.

Moreover, in minority colleges, the cut-offs went down across streams, with vacant seats under the minority quota being surrendered for other students. According to the data shared by the education department, after the third admission round, nearly 62,000 seats were vacant in the three quotas, with the highest being from the minority quota, nearly 42,000. Overall, nearly 1.85 lakh seats remained vacant after admissions were over.

On the other hand, the state government has reportedly made way for 54 new colleges to come under Mumbai University (MU) following the addition of 18 new locations to the perspective plan sent by the university. In a MU senate meeting recently, the plan was cleared which proposed 36 colleges and only a single night college in Dadar.

However, the government since then has granted permission for a BMC run college as well. Furthermore, it has proposed arts, commerce and science, law colleges, hospitality studies institutes, and night colleges for the academic year of 2021-22.
