Age correspondent
Mumbai, July 5
The education department on Friday released the third and final merit list of the junior college online admission, with cut off marks slipping down by one to four percent in top colleges, as compared to the second merit list, in which a total of 29,938 students were allotted seats. N.B. Chavan, deputy director of school education said that students should secure their admission in whichever college they are allotted seats, rather than waste time looking for a seat in top colleges. The department will also keep the admissions open via the offline format for those who were not allotted seats in the online process.
