dna speaks with past students to know their experience and what precautions one can take while filling up the forms online to take admissions in the state junior colleges.
Mansi Arora, who appeared for her HSC exams this year and topped in her ICSE Std X exam in the past, said, "One has to remember that the admissions in the state junior colleges is not given on the basis of the optional subject's marks. One has to exclude the optional subjects while inserting the percentage. Also, read the instructions laid down in the handbook carefully and submit the correct documents."
Echoing the sentiments of Arora, Mallika Eapen, now an engineer who was a student when the FYJC online admissions had just started, said, "I remember that while filing the online admission form, one has to be careful while choosing the college code numbers. Some colleges have the same names and that can create a lot of chaos in my time while filling out the form. Hence, check the college's names and their addresses, so that one does not get the wrong college."
This year, there are 49 new colleges that have been added to the list on the website of the FYJC online admissions. One can view the website on http://fyjc.org.in/mumbai/StaticPages/HomePage_main.aspx?tms=1
