Online admission booklets are out after 20-day delay

Mumbai: The booklets containing information on how to go about the online admission process for junior colleges have finally reached the city schools, after a 20-day delay. This queers the pitch for lakhs of students who have left on summer vacation after their Std X board exams ended on March 17. The education department has also reneged on its promise of segregating information in the booklet according to streams, which would have made it easier for students to identify details relevant to them.
The delay has forced schools to devise innovative ways to draw students back to school for the training programme, scheduled later this month. “Students were asked to inquire about the booklet with their schools a week after the board exams, but we still had no news on them by then. Hence, many must have left for vacation by now. The training is on April 19, and we don’t know if they will be able to make it,” said the principal of a school in Sion.
