Rampant mismanagement in the education department delayed the second round of online admissions for 25 per cent seats reserved for underprivileged children under Right To Education Act (RTE) in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad region yesterday.

The second round is being conducted for around 6,000 vacant seats in 220 schools from the Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad area. Representation pic

The list of 19 private schools, which had not participated in the first round of admissions owing to a technical snag, was not uploaded onto the admissions website before the evening hours, even though the online admission process was scheduled to commence in the morning itself.
