Surpassing trends set in previous years, admissions to First Year Junior College (FYJC) in Maharashtra crossed the 50 per cent mark in Round 3 itself of the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) which concluded on July 14.

“Every year, admissions go up to around 47 per cent in the third round. This year it has been more than 50 per cent,” said Sampat Suryawanshi, Director of Education (Maharashtra Secondary and Higher Secondary department).

Suryawanshi added, “It depends on the preferences of the candidates. Some students want only a specific college for various possible reasons like distance from residence. But this time, the procedure went well.”
