First Year Junior College (FYJC) is class XI in which students take admission after clearing Class X examination of Maharashtra State SSC Board or an equivalent examination. Admission is solely based on marks obtained in Class X board exam.
Earlier the entire process of taking admission was manual in which students and their parents used to run from college to college to fill the admission form and take admission. It was extremely hectic for admission seeker and college administration.
By eliminating the manual paper work, the online admission method has simplified the admission to FYJC in Mumbai. With the online form, a student can apply to more than 150 colleges at one go. Apart from this, it provides a platform for counseling, allotment, admission, cancellation and complaint redressal. The online application is available in both English and Marathi.
Last year, more than 3,00,000 students used the online admission portal to take admission in more than 700 colleges of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). In the official website of FYJC it has been updated that last year’s online application procedure had saved Rupees 23,78,61,400 and traveling cost. Parents assist their kids in getting admission and hence saving of working parent-days was 6,20,508.
This year also the online system received an over whelming response. With the declaration of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) results, students filled online admission form to take admission in the First Year Junior College (FYJC). The web portal has been made functional for the admission since April 24, 2014. On the other hand, offline admissions for students belonging to minority and management quota started on June 18.
2,03,378 number of students applied online for 1,90,809 seats available in the first FYJC merit list. The reason for this increase in the number of online applications is the students belonging to in-house, minority or management quota and applying online instead of offline.
