FYJC special rounds continue as classes begin on July 15

Maharashtra’s FYJC admission season has entered a crucial phase. According to recent reporting, the Directorate of Education has directed all higher secondary schools and junior colleges across the state to start First Year Junior College (FYJC / Std XI) classes from July 15, 2026, even while the centralised admission process continues through special rounds. The move is meant to keep the academic year on track for students who have already secured seats, while also giving remaining applicants more chances in the next rounds.

This matters for students because a large number of applicants were still waiting for allotment when the special rounds were announced. The latest coverage said the first special admission round had already placed 324,102 students, while nearly 399,442 students were still awaiting placement. Officials also said that more than 10 lakh students had confirmed admissions overall so far. For students still searching for a seat, the special rounds are now the main chance to get into a junior college. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com)

The next important update is the girls’ special round, which began on July 10, 2026. In that round, female applicants were allowed to register, correct Part I details, and submit college preferences on July 10 and 11. The seat allotment list was scheduled for 10 am on July 13, and students had to confirm admissions by 6 pm on July 14. The Education Department said the schedule for later rounds would be announced after this round was completed. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com)

Students should also note that the admission process is being handled through the official FYJC portal, and the state board’s notification pages continue to post current exam- and admission-related updates. If you are still waiting for a college seat, check the portal frequently and complete every step before the deadline once your allotment appears. (mahahsscboard.in)
