Mumbai, July 9 -- Around 15,190 students have not sought college admissions despite being allotted their first-choice college during the First-Year Junior College (FYJC) online first round of the centralised admission process (CAP). As per the rule, these students will not be allowed to apply for admissions in the second round and will have to wait for the third round. Out of the 139,943 students allotted colleges in the CAP first round, 68,927 have taken admission in various colleges of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as the FYJC admission process is underway in 9,435 colleges of the state. In total, there are 2,123,720 available seats across colleges, of which 1,670,598 are available for the CAP round. The state education department announced the first merit list for CAP admissions on June 28. Students who were allotted seats in colleges had until July 7 to complete the admission process. Those who were allotted their first-choice college had to confirm the admission within the deadline, and would lose the seat if they failed to do so. Of the total confirmed admissions in the first round, 2.35 million students opted for science, 1.17 millions for arts, and 79,000 for commerce. This year's admission process got off to a delayed start due to a series of technical glitches and logistical hurdles. An officer from the education department said, "Further FYJC admission processes will be streamlined."...
