On October 8, a fifth round of FCFS admissions will begin. As of now, a total of 66,122 admissions have taken place and 47,083 seats are still vacant in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.

In this fifth FCFS admission round, students averaging 50 per cent in their Class 10 marks are eligible for admission. The FCFS rounds will finish on October 14.

There are seven categories in the FCFS process – from students with 90 per cent marks or more down to those with 35 per cent marks.
