PUNE/MUMBAI: The education department will soon declare first-year junior college (FYJC) admissions on a first come, first served basis in Mumbai, Pune, Amravati, Aurangabad, Nagpur and Nashik. The second special round will end on January 9. By the end of the first special round, out of a total intake of 5.6 lakh, as many as 3.2 lakh students had confirmed their admissions; 2.4 lakh seats were still vacant.
Last year, the education department decided to do away with the first come, first served (FCFS) rounds and instead host additional merit-based admission rounds after three regular ones. A government resolution to the effect was issued on June 24, 2020.
