“The decision to introduce the third round of FCFS was taken after we received several requests from parents and students, who were yet to get an admission in the city junior colleges. Many had missed out of the first two rounds of FCFS for several reasons and others wanted to cancel out their previous admissions and were requesting to be allowed another chance. Hence, the department on a state level decided to extend it by another round, which will be open till September 29,” said Meenakshi Raut, deputy director of education, Pune
