Talking about the ongoing admission process, Meena Shendkar, assistant director of education, Pune, said, “The second round of admissions is over and still we can see that there is lot of enthusiasm among students to get prominent colleges and so they are not completing their admission process. Now, on December 10, the vacancy list for third regular admission round will be declared online for further admission process.”
