PUNE: At least 2,81,020 online applications for admission have been registered against 1,02,022 vacancies available in the entry-level classes across the state under the Right to Education (RTE) Act’s free education policy till Thursday — the last day to apply.
A total of 25% of the seats in entry-level classes of private unaided schools are kept vacant for students from socially, economically and physically challenged categories under the RTE Act. These students do not have to pay tuition fees as the state is to reimburse the cost of their education.
