6,596 students had applied in special fourth round for online admission, out of which 6,564 were allotted colleges.
While the online admission process for the first year junior college (FYJC) concluded after the fourth special round merit list was declared on Wednesday, it has not gone down well with the students, who have not got admissions as per their choice. But, it has benefited the education department, from the sale of login credentials, claim activists and experts.
Before the admission rounds began in mid-June, around 2.22 lakh students registered for the FYJC online admission process. And in the fourth special round for FYJC, students, whose names have appeared in the list are those, who appeared for July repeaters examination and cleared it, and also the one's, who got ATKT (Allow to Keep Term). These students can take admission on September 16 and 17 in their allotted colleges.
6,596 students had applied in special fourth round for online admission, out of which 6,564 were allotted colleges. While 4,945 students got the admission as per their first preference, 817 got their second preference college and 340 got colleges of their third preference.
Jayant Jain, president, Forum For Fairness In Education, said, "It is surprising that the education department have sold login credentials in all the special rounds. This definitely might have benefited the education department in the tune of crores. It just shows earlier colleges were exploiting students, and this year, the education department has done it. They should have provided a one time login ID and password for the process."
According to the sources from education department, one student, who applied for four times in admission process, had to purchase the login credentials every time.
Anil Deshmukh, president of Maharashtra State Federation of Junior College Teachers Organisation, said, "We have written a letter to the principal secretary of education department to keep a maximum option of only 15 colleges to be filled during online admission process, instead of 35 colleges that led to confusion and chaos this year. This year, it seems many unaided and self-finance courses have got good number of students compared to aided colleges. Also, this year the government permitted a number of new junior colleges to be filled, where the admissions might have been allotted through online process. This definitely will create a problem in aided colleges of surplus teachers if seats are not filled there. We have thus requested the officials to allot the first two rounds of admission in 2017 for aided colleges."
Despite of repeated attempts, the education officials remained unavailable for comments.
