NASHIK: The education department in the Nashik division on Saturday announced the second merit list of 4,638 students under the centralised admission process (CAP) for first-year admissions in 60 junior college colleges in the city. These students will have to take admission in the allotted colleges by September 6.
While 2,172 students have been allotted seats in the science stream, 1,556 have gotten seats in the commerce stream and 829 in the arts stream. Moreover, 81 students have been allotted HSVC seats.
Nitin Upasani, the deputy director of Nashik division education department, said the department will come out with more merit lists. “We will ensure that all students from Nashik city are allotted seats in the junior colleges,” he said.
The department had considered applications of 9,838 students in round II of CAP. However, seats could not be allotted to 5,200 students due to technical reasons, including errors in the filled-up admission forms.
The cut-off for admissions in the top 8-10 colleges of the city in round II of CAP was around 90% in the science stream, about 89% in the commerce stream and roughly 74% in the arts stream.
Apart from the state board students, the department has received applications from students of other boards like CBSE, ICSE etc. This year, over 25,000 seats are available for first-year junior college admissions in 60 colleges and in the first CAP round last week, more than 7,900 students were allotted seats in all streams. The merit list for round III will be announced after September 6.
