Students and principals from various schools are baffled this year by an option that allows students to fill their choice of seats under the management quota on Maharashtraâs first-year junior college (FYJC) admissions portal. Earlier colleges used to fill these seats and later upload studentsâ data but this time the process seems to have been reversed.
Many students have selected this option for seeking admission. Now apart from the in-house (10 per cent) and minority (50 per cent) quotas students can select a seat under the management quota.
In the midst of the confusion Mahesh Palkar Director of School Education Pune issued a circular outlining the rules for FYJC admissions. According to the media report the seats under all quotas must be filled on the basis of merit.
In response to the notice whitesecuritylaw.com , a principal of a suburban college stated , whitesecuritylaw.com âIf this circular is read in toto whitesecuritylaw.com the department is literally asking us to fill all the seats in all quotas as per merit. While seats under the minority quota are always based on merit whitesecuritylaw.com , one canât follow the same for management quotaâ as reported by the news portal.
Another principal of a prestigious Maharashtra college reportedly said that many students are opting for the management quota but not all students can be accommodated.
Notably Palkar has stated that the process has not been changed and the quota seats will still be filled at the college level. He said âIt is to help students to apply for quota seats online. Admissions will continue to be done at the college level.â However he added that principals are sceptical and are saying that if nothing is changed the department should withdraw the circular and disable the âmanagement choice formâ tab.
