Tired of government officials and politicians making endless demands for college admissions under the management quota, prominent institutes in the city have decided to give up these seats altogether. A good 5% of seats come under the management quota.

Among the top colleges that have already surrendered their management quota seats are DG Ruparel College, SK Somaiya College and SIES College, a report in this paper said yesterday. This means more seats will now become available in the current online admission process. As of June 29, a total of 1,762 seats were surrendered by colleges in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai). This is good news for students clamouring for admission with barely any time to go now.
