First Year Junior College
(FYJC) students unhappy with seats allotted to them in the online
admission process and who were hoping to change college in the middle of
the academic year or next, may not get a chance to do so offline. The
education department plans an online mechanism through which junior
college admissions will have to be routed. Many students look at
changing colleges in the middle of Class XI or in Class XII if they want
to secure admission at a college of their choice. Until last year,
students could approach individual colleges and they would be allotted a
seat if there was a vacancy .
But this year, the Bombay high court said that no offline admissions be permitted.“We conducted over nine online rounds to ensure 100% admissions through the sy stem. Hence, we cannot allow students to change colleges offline even in future as we will then be back to square one,“ said B B Chavan, deputy director of education, Mumbai. Officials said that until last year less than 50% students continued at colleges allotted to them in the online process.
The education department is setting up the online system. “We are wrapping up ad missions for students who passed the SSC re-exam but we have told the agency to create the online set-up. Students will have to log in through the website and the online process will allot them to colleges they pick if there are vacancies,“ said Chavan.
The department, which had planned only three online rounds, had to hold nine to accommodate complaints from many students that the system had not been allotting them colleges as per their choice and marks.
But students are unhappy with the education department's plan.
“Despite applying online in almost five rounds, I could not get a college of my choice, and students with lower marks made it to that college. I was planning to try my luck next year at least, but if the online system will make allotments, we may yet again not get a seat. We do not know how the system works,“ said a student who scored 79%.
