FYJC Admissions: Cut-off percentages of top 20 Mumbai colleges for 2017-18

With results of Indian Certificate for Secondary Education (ICSE), Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams out, lakhs of students are set to enrol for first-year junior college (FYJC) admissions in Mumbai colleges.

Since 30 percent more students scored over 90 percent marks in 2017-18 compared to previous year, the competition is stiffer and likely to push the cut-offs for top colleges higher.

Meanwhile, the State Education Department is also announced the schedule for first-year junior college admissions on Monday evening.

Per the schedule, students will have to fill the form (II) for the online admission process on the admission portal, and specify a list of their preferred colleges, by June 18, 2018.

For a vast majority of students, the cut-off percentages for the previous year will act as the most relevant reference point when it comes to deciding which colleges to opt for during admissions.

Till last year, the department would print cut-offs of junior colleges in the information booklet which students had to purchase to get the User ID and Password. However, the cut-offs were uploaded to the online portal instead this year.
