PUNE The government will resume the admission process of first-year junior college (FYJC) or Class 11 from Thursday (November 26) in the state and Pune region after a gap of more than two months. The state government issued a government resolution (GR) regarding the same late on Tuesday.
Earlier in the first round of the admissions, out of the total 14.3 lakh FYJC students, 11.5 lakh of them had sought admission. The remaining 2.79 lakh students will now complete their admission process.
Due to the interim stay given by the Supreme Court (SC) on the implementation of the quota for the Maratha community in jobs and education, the state education department had stopped the admission process for FYJC since September 9.
“In view of the delayed admission process due to stay on Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) reservation by Supreme Court of India, students whose admission was rejected or cancelled and got first preference but did not take admission during round 1, will be allowed to take admission,” said Dattatray Jagtap, director of secondary and higher secondary education department.
