KOLHAPUR: As many as 4,105 seats of Class XI remained vacant in 35 colleges of Kolhapur city at the end of the second and final round of centralised admission process (CAP).
The CAP system declared the selection list for the students registered for second round. After first round, 9,383 seats were vacant. As many as 5,278 students have been allotted colleges as per the merit.
Subhash Chougule, secretary of CAP, said, “Many did not secure admission after first round and therefore large number of students had entered second round. The overall response of students seeking admission to city based colleges has come down this time, mainly due to Covid. After two rounds, except for science stream in couple of colleges, the cut off has come down for all streams for all colleges.”
The students allotted the colleges must secure admission in next three days. The students, who had not applied for CAP rounds but still want to take admission, can approach respective colleges.
“The principals of the colleges where the seats are vacant can hold college-level round if they get large number of applications. They have to give admission as per merit and not on first-come-first basis,” said Chougule.
The science stream has remained the top choice of the students. Only 173 seats for science stream have remained vacant after the end of the final round. As many as 2,297 seats of Arts faculty and 1,635 seats of Commerce faculty are vacant.
