SSC joy and agony today

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
PUNE, June 28: While SSC students await with bated breath the declaration of their results on Monday, the hassles of admission have been lessened by the centralised admission system which will be in force for the fourth consecutive year.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education will announce the results at 11 am on Monday while the mark lists will be available at respective schools after 3 pm. The centralised admission process to standard XI will commence from June 30. In all, 101 colleges in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad fall under purview of the centralised admission process to standard XI. Of which, 73 junior colleges attached to high schools will reserve 20 per cent seats for its students from this academic year. Students seeking admission to junior colleges attached to their own high schools need not apply in the centralised admission process.

As per the Government Resolution dated June 25, linguistic and religious minority educational institutions will reserve 50 per cent seats for admission to standard XI. Such students seeking admission to schools run by minority educational institutions also need not apply in the centralised admission process, Deputy Director of Education V G Joshi told media persons on Sunday.

Students who have applied for admission to minority-run schools under the 50 per cent quota will not be eligible for admission to other colleges through the centralised system, Joshi said adding that such students must decide whether they wanted admission under the ``minority'' quota or through the centralised admission process.

Regarding 20 per cent reservation by school managements for standard XI in the junior colleges attached to their schools, S Z Khateeb, Assistant Director of Education said students can directly approach their colleges for admission. The Deputy Director of Education's office has directed school principals to submit selection lists within five days of granting admission to students. If students do not secure admission in the junior colleges attached to high schools, they can apply for admission through centralised process by July 5.

There are 17,220 seats in 73 schools attached to junior colleges for faculties of arts, commerce and science. Students can directly apply to home science faculty and Hindi and Urdu-medium colleges. Due to limited seats for bifocal courses, colleges can directly grant admission, Khateeb added. Five per cent seats will be reserved as management quota.
