Three Guidance Centres In Mumbai, Nine In Thane To Help Students In Second Round Of Junior College Admissions Next Week
Mumbai: Class X pass-outs who are still hunting for a junior college seat can gear up for the second round of admissions scheduled to begin next week. There are 26,115 vacant seats in Mumbai, 15,925 in Thane and 871 in Raigad, according to figures collated by the education department on Friday. That means 42,911 seats are still up for grabs.
Interestingly, while a total of 2,59,293 students cleared the SSC exams in the Mumbai region this year, there were a total of 2,69,655 available junior college seats—2,51,735 in existing colleges and approximately
17,920 in new colleges.
What this means is that on paper at least there appears to be a seat for every student, though s/he might have to compromise on their first-, or even second-choice college. And it remains to be seen if every new junior college is capable of operating to full capacity.
The state government has sanctioned 36 new colleges for Mumbai with over 50 divisions. Thane has 104 new colleges with 154 new divisions while Raigad has 14 new colleges with 18 divisions. Each division is a stream—arts, science and commerce—at each college and can accommodate 80 students.
On Friday, the Mahrashtra government finished collating information on the number of filled seats as well as those that are still vacant. On Monday, the government will open guidance centres for students who have been left without a seat. There will be three guidance centres in Mumbai, nine in Thane and one in Raigad. The guidance centres are scheduled to open at around 11 am.
These guidance centres will have a detailed list of all colleges in the region that have vacant seats. The number of vacant seats for the various streams in each college will also be mentioned.
Students will then have to apply directly to the junior colleges that they want admission in. After that, the colleges will draw up and release a one final merit list.
If there are still vacancies even after this round of admissions, or students are still left without seats, the state education department may once again publicise the names of colleges that have seats that remain to be filled.
Only students who do not have a seat in any college are eligible for the second round. For this round, students will have to furnish their original marksheets and school leaving certificates. If they do not have these documents, it’s assumed that they have already taken admission in another college, where they have submitted their original documents. Students should not use this round of admissions to upgrade to a better college.
