Govt initiates action against FYJC admission service provider

State Education Minister Vinod Tawde on Thursday announced that the government has initiated a disciplinary action against Nyasa Asia Private Limited after the delay and glitches in the FYJC online admission process.

While responding to questions about the delays in the FYJC admission process, Tawde said that the company could not carry out the work allotted to it smoothly, and so action is being taken against it. "Action has been initiated against the company after looking at the terms of the contract signed with them," he said.

DNA had earlier written about the concerns raised over NYSA's appointment for the job as the company was blacklisted for three years by the Punjab government in December 2016 after it allegedly failed to furnish proof of experience in handling online registration of three lakh students.

The glitches in the application process and the delay in the declaration of the merit list this year had vexed many parents.

Tawde said that while the server for the admission had the capacity of 8 lakh log-ins, over 15 lakh students logged in across the state, leading to some issues in the server. "It has been found that 242 students filled in wrong information at the time of application. However, students would only be admitted after making the necessary corrections and verifying their documents," Tawde said.
