Govt partially backtracks in-house quota rule change for Class 11 admission

Students from institutes owning a school and a junior college within these limits would be eligible for the 10 per cent in-house quota.

For the rest of Maharashtra, the revenue district would be considered a unit boundary for eligibility of in-house quota admissions.

The original rule change by the state government had marked a strong backlash from educational institutes in Pune like the Fergusson Junior College and Modern College of Arts, Science, and Commerce.

These institutes have schools present at a different location than their junior college campus, meaning that their school students would be rendered ineligible for in-house quota admissions.

Palkar had previously told The Indian Express that the decision to restrict in-house quota to same premise schools and junior colleges was to bring fairness to the admission process and give meritorious students a better chance.
