Meena Shendkar, assistant director of education, Pune said, “The first special round of admissions is now over and still a large number of students have not yet confirmed their admissions. Students and their parents wait to get admission in a few prominent colleges which are not possible from now as the entire process is centralised. Students need to understand this as they need to take admission as per their marks and in the college which cut off is close to their marks.”
