FYJC Special Round 8 Is Over: What Unallotted Students Can Do Now

Direct answer: FYJC Special Round 8 was available from September 1, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. to September 2, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. That window is now closed. If you were not allotted a seat, or could not complete admission, check your application dashboard and do not trust unofficial “guaranteed admission” messages. The official portal has not yet confirmed another round as of September 4, 2026. (mahafyjcadmissions.in)

## Who was affected by Special Round 8?

This update is for students applying for FYJC/Class 11 admission for 2026–27 through the Maharashtra centralised online admission process. It mainly matters to students who:

- had no confirmed seat after earlier CAP or special rounds; - were not allotted the college or stream they wanted; - passed SSC before 2026 and needed to update their applicant status; - had to lock or submit Part 2 of the application; or - received an allotment but did not complete the admission process before the deadline.

The official portal published the Special Round 8 announcement on August 31, 2026. It also reminded students who passed Standard 10 before 2026 to select “Previously Passed” and choose the correct passing year. (mahafyjcadmissions.in)

## What were the Special Round 8 dates?

| Process | Official time and date | Status on September 4, 2026 | |---|---:|---| | Proceed to Admission / allotment process | September 1, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. | Closed | | Admission confirmation at the allotted junior college | Until September 2, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. | Closed | | Official FYJC portal | mahafyjcadmissions.in | Check for new notices | | Portal support email | support@mahafyjcadmissions.in | Available for process queries |

The portal’s admission schedule page lists Special Round 8 along with the earlier rounds. We did not find a later official schedule for Special Round 9 or another fresh round while checking the portal on September 4. This means a new round is not confirmed, even if social-media posts or college messages suggest one may come. (mahafyjcadmissions.in)

## What if you received a seat but did nothing?

If the portal gave you an allotment and you did not use “Proceed for Admission”, or you did not complete the college admission process by 6:00 p.m. on September 2, you should assume that the Special Round 8 window has ended. The portal has not stated in the notice that a missed allotment will remain active automatically.

1. your application number; 2. allotment status, if any; 3. the date and time shown on the dashboard; and 4. any error message that stopped you from completing admission.

Keep these screenshots, payment receipts and college acknowledgements. They may help if the portal later opens a grievance or correction facility.

## Can a junior college demand the original marksheet immediately?

The official FYJC announcement says junior colleges should not make the original marksheet and school leaving certificate compulsory while deciding the admission if the State Board has not yet distributed them. A student may be asked to give an undertaking and submit the documents later. However, the same notice warns that admission can be cancelled if the required marksheet or school leaving certificate is not submitted after it becomes available. (mahafyjcadmissions.in)

This does not mean that every document can be ignored. Keep your SSC result details, application records, identity documents and any certificate requested by the college ready. Ask the college to give you a written list of missing documents instead of relying only on a verbal statement.

## What should students with no confirmed seat do next?

### 1. Check the official portal every day

Use mahafyjcadmissions.in and open the announcement, admission schedule and allotment sections. Do not depend only on YouTube videos, coaching messages or forwarded WhatsApp images. The official portal is the correct place for a new round date.

### 2. Check whether your Part 2 form was locked

The Special Round 8 notice stated that newly registered and already registered students had to lock the Part 2 application for the next admission step. If your form was not locked, save the status shown in your account. Do not create a second application unless the portal specifically instructs you to do so.

### 3. Contact official portal support about technical problems

For a genuine login, allotment or application error, email support@mahafyjcadmissions.in with your application number, registered mobile number, screenshots and a short description of the problem. Do not send your password or OTP to anyone.

### 4. Visit colleges only after checking seat information

If the portal later announces vacant-seat, quota or another special process, follow that notice carefully. Ask whether the seat is through CAP, minority quota, management quota or another permitted route. Get the fee and document requirements in writing before paying.

### 5. Do not pay an unofficial agent

No official Special Round 9 date has been confirmed in the sources checked for this update. Anyone asking for money to “guarantee” an allotment should be treated carefully. Pay fees only through the college or official process and keep the receipt.

## What changed since Special Round 7?

Special Round 8 added a new admission window and clarified two practical points: students who passed SSC before 2026 should select “Previously Passed”, and Part 2 must be locked for the next step. It also repeated the document guidance about marksheets and school leaving certificates. The new window, however, ended on September 2. The next official action is still awaited.
