Schools run by the Pune Municipal Corporation have been flooded with admission applications, and now the civic education board committee is in the process of allocating extra rooms to accommodate more primary students.

As about 48 PMC English-medium schools in the city had been receiving a large number of applications since the past one week for the academic year 2012-13, most of the schools had to close the admissions before the usual date, resulting in unease among parents and students, who prefer English-medium schools over Marathi-medium ones.
