Clearing the Std X exams is no longer a prerequisite for students to get access to School Leaving Certificates (LC).

In a bid to check the chaos of last minute admissions, the Deputy Director of Education has ordered city schools to oversee that students either register online for Std XI admissions or submit in writing if they wish to move out of Mumbai or pursue technical courses in other institutes. The government has made the schools responsible for complete documentation of this process, failing which an LC would not be issued for the student.
