After delays due to the confusion over the implementation of the Muslim and Maratha quotas during First Year Junior College (FYJC) admissions, the education department has decided to start the online admissions process next week. Usually, this process starts in March.

The office of the deputy director of education told this paper that the details of the online admissions have been explained to school principals through a workshop, and students would receive the admission booklets by next week. Officials confirmed that students could start filling up the dummy forms within the next fortnight.
