The FCFS-based Class 11 admissions had seven categories. Under the first category, students with more than 90% marks were considered. Students with more than 80%, 70%, 60% and 50% were considered in subsequent categories of the admission process. Students with 35% or more were considered in the last category.

Meena Shendkar, assistant director of education, Pune, who is in charge of the admission process, said, “It is a cause for concern that students did not come forward to register and participate in the online admission process. There are many reasons for students not taking Class 11 admissions, including financial and also taking a break from education. This has resulted in a large number of vacant seats across colleges in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.”
