11th admission first list 2018 for Mumbai, Pune

As per state education department’s report 299 of 39,476 FYJC seats in 73 colleges were filled illegally last year.

Only a few colleges in Mumbai and Pune were monitored in the FYJC admission process. The total intake for students in Mumbai was 2.6 lakh last year, the actual number of seats that were illegally filled via 11th online admission could be much more.

Third parties were involved to audit colleges to maintain transparency, after the 11th admission process was over last year, as per the orders of the Bombay High Court and the state government. The main objective was to make sure that all colleges admitted open-category students via the online admission process, and then followed the department’s norms while admitting students to quota seats for the admission process.

Pune-based non-government organisation (NGO), Syscom, challenged the audit and its findings. Previously, the organisation has filed public interest litigations (PIL), to streamline the 11th admission process and remove any errors in the system.

Activists questioned why the report not covered all the colleges in Maharashtra. “The audit was ordered by the Court for the entire state, but the education department only held it in a few colleges in Mumbai and Pune,” said Vaishali Bafna, NGO member and one of the petitioners. “If they cover all colleges, more illegal admissions would then have been reported.”

Even the audit report not made public — it was accessed by the NGO after repeated Right to Information (RTI) queries. The report shows that in Pune, the audit was held by an expert committee having former education officials, but in Mumbai officials visited colleges themselves.

Bafna said, “No specific parameters were fixed for the audit; audit committee meeting records are not found or no recommendations". The audit did not check if 11th admissions were merit-based. “The audit was done as an eye wash by the education department. No investigation was done neither questioned any of the information provided by the colleges.”
