Education department meet on admissions for CBSE school-test students

Updated on: Tuesday, June 28, 2011

State education minister Rajendra Darda will meet senior officials from the education department and Maharashtra State Board of Education today to check the legalities involved in giving the go-ahead for admissions to CBSE students who took the school-based exam. On Saturday, the department decided to let CBSE students who took the school-based test apply to junior colleges in the state. A final notification to this effect will be out today.

V Radha, the in-charge secretary of the school education department, said, “We have decided to give admissions to CBSE students who have taken the school-based test offline after the online admission process is over. Though we have decided to give them admissions on the basis of the marks they will receive from the board, we want to check if there is any legality involved.” A decision on whether the admissions will be final or provisional will be taken on Monday and a notification issued. As the admissions will be offline, parents are worried about not getting the best colleges.
