MUMBAI: Students registering for the first round of online FYJC admissions in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) are back to the 2020 levels. The first minority quota cut-offs last week indicated a similar trend. Last year, registrations had dropped by 18% compared to 2020.
The first general merit li-st, considered important to get seats in colleges of choice, will be out on Wednesday. The registration for round 1 ended on July 30 with 2.37 lakh students vying for their preference college. Last year, 2.02 lakh students had registered for round 1 compared to 2.42 lakh in 2020. Last year’s drop was attributed to the lockdown-induced migration of students.
