HMs & principals of junior colleges warned of action

It may be noted that the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education declared the result of SSC on June 2. The admission process for the 11th admissions began in the district on June 15.

Admissions process to be offline

The junior colleges are holding the admission process for the 11th in the offline mode for the academic year 2023-24 as the city was not included in this year's online admission process. The city has been part of the online admission process since 2017. However, this approach resulted in a significant number of vacant seats in the city's colleges. Many students and parents found the online admission process complicated and time-consuming, leading them to seek admission to colleges located in rural areas. This caused dissatisfaction among teachers, institute owners, and even local public representatives, who supported the decision to discontinue the online admission process.
