Maharashtra’s Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has extended the first special round deadline for Class 11 admissions till July 8 at 6 pm due to heavy rainfall disruptions. School and college closures affected verification across Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Konkan regions.

Mumbai: The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has once again extended the deadline for the first special round of the centralised online Class 11 admission process, citing widespread disruption caused by heavy rainfall across Maharashtra. Students allotted seats in the special round can now complete their admission process until 6 pm on July 8, according to the revised schedule announced on Monday.

Schools Closed in Several Districts, Making Verification Difficult

The extension comes after incessant rains led to the closure of schools and junior colleges in several districts, making it difficult for students to visit institutions for document verification and admission confirmation. Authorities said the decision was taken to ensure that no student loses the opportunity to secure admission due to weather-related disruptions.

This year, the Class 11 admission process is being conducted across 9,688 junior colleges in Maharashtra. So far, 14,73,420 students have registered for admissions, of whom 10,08,094 have successfully confirmed their seats.
