System Crash Due to Overload

The education department stated that on the initial registration day, due to around 1.5 million students trying to register at the same time, the system crashed. This unexpected failure led to panic among students and parents. Therefore, the directorate suspended the admission process and announced a revised schedule.

Mahesh Palkar, Director (Projects) at the School Education Department, said in an official note that the revised admission dates were finalised after inviting feedback and comments from students, parents, and education experts.
To protect students from fake admission websites, the department has introduced an official WhatsApp information channel. Through this service, students will receive verified notifications, important reminders, and guidelines about the FYJC admission process.

Academic Year and Policy Updates

The government has authorised junior colleges to begin the academic year from July 1 if they have filled at least 50% of their total seats. Colleges that do not meet this requirement must start classes by the final deadline of August 11.

In addition, a revised policy on in-house quota admissions has received criticism from several educational institutions. Under the new rules, only 10% of seats are reserved for in-house students, a reduction from the previous 20%. Also, the eligibility is now limited to students who have studied in secondary schools located on the same premises as the junior college and managed by the same institution.

Many people say that the updated policy could negatively affect colleges in cities, especially in urban areas, where space limitations often prevent schools and junior colleges from operating on the same property.
