In good news and relief for FYJC students, the state education department is working on tweaking the evaluation pattern to reduce stress on students, considering that their academic year has started late. School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad on Wednesday revealed the department’s plan to focus on completing the syllabus, but having evaluations only for a limited portion.

The FYJC (First Year Junior College) admissions concluded on Tuesday after the longest ever delay amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the Maratha reservation issue which is under litigation at the Supreme Court.
