Colleges will declare the offline cut-off merit list today for students who have applied for admission in First Year Junior College (FYJC). Tuesday was the last day to submit applications. The number of students, who have applied for offline admission is more than the number of seats available.

Kavita Rege, principal of Sathaye College, Vile Parle (E), said, "We are not sure whether these students are the ones, who have not got admission or have withdrawn their online admission to get into colleges of their choice. In our college, there are 50 seats for commerce stream and we have already received 450 applications; for science stream there are only 48 seats, but nearly 300 students have applied."

Tukaram Shiware, director of KPB Hinduja College, Charni Road, said, "Reputed colleges in the city have received more number of application offline. We have only 304 seats vacant in the commerce stream in the offline process, but the number of application that we have got so far is 2,150. Our cut-off for commerce in the offline process in the aided section is 81.60%, and in the unaided section it's 79.50%."

Colleges will inform the deputy director of education, Mumbai region about the number of vacancies, if any, on July 24.
