The Maharashtra Department of School Education & Sports has released the FYJC merit list 2026, initiating the next round of Class 11 admission process. Candidates who have registered themselves for admission to junior college can see the result of their registration and allotment from the official admission website.As per the admission timetable, CAP Round 1 and Quota Admissions started on May 29, 2026, and will continue till June 3, 2026, at 6 pm.Candidates who have been allotted any junior college need to complete their admission formalities within the designated period.According to a TNN report, the first FYJC merit list released on May 29 showed a marginal decline of up to 2 percentage points in cut-offs across several Mumbai colleges. Educationists attributed the trend partly to the admission schedule being advanced by nearly a month compared to previous years, which may have caused some students to miss the initial application window.The report noted that Maharashtra recorded a seven-year low Secondary School Certificate (SSC) pass percentage of 90.75% this year, a factor that may have influenced admission trends. In the Mumbai region, 1,33,323 of the 2,11,660 registered applicants secured seats in the first round, while students have been given time until June 3 to confirm their admissions.
