Revised schedule for Round 1 of FYJC admissions to be out today as technical snag hits website on Day 1 of registration

The Office of Director of Education (Secondary), which conducts the process, initially declared that there is a technical snag and the website will be functional soon, post repair. However, in the evening on Wednesday, a statement issued by the office said, “Due to technical issues with the online admission portal, student registration and preference selection could not be completed properly on May 21…considering the best interests of students and the need to fix the technical issues, a revised schedule for the Class 11 admission process will be announced on May 22, 2025, at 3pm for Round 1.”

The exact time when the portal will be available will be shown online, and students will be informed via email and mobile messages. Although the application process on the portal is starting late, students will be given ample time to fill out their forms and submit their preferences, said the statement.

“Efforts are being made to ensure that even the smallest errors are avoided. All necessary measures are being taken to ensure that the application process is convenient and straightforward for students, and that the overall admission process is completed in minimal time,” said the statement .

This is the first year that the online CAP for FYJC admissions has been extended across the state. Until last year, the online CAP for FYJC admissions was limited to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune-Pimpri Chinchwad, Nagpur, Nashik, and Amravati.

Parents irked with the technical snag on the website expressed that the system should have been prepared well to handle the additional load of students as the process has now been extended to the entire state.

“It is unfair to call it a technical issue now on day one of the registration,” said one parent. Whereas another added how no official information from the organisers led to panic among candidates on the very first day of registration. “There should be a proper channel of communication to inform candidates about the issues,” said the parent.
