Students were allotted colleges across eight municipal regions, including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Amravati, and others. Among these, Mumbai region had the highest number of applicants (80,858), followed by Pune (79,417) and Nashik (56,678).
'I got admission in a non-grant college but didn't want to take the risk of waiting for the next round. So, I confirmed it. But, I'm now worried about managing the fees and other expenses. I am from Nashik and will be staying in a hostel here,' said Priya Gavit, a student.
The education department has urged students to complete the admission formalities on time to secure their preferred college and stream.
'Although I did not get admission in the college I wanted, I am happy I secured a seat in SP College. This year, the cut-off was higher than expected,' said Akash Pawar, a student.
