Amid heavy rainfall and flooding at multiple locations across Maharashtra, the state government has taken an important decision to extend the deadline for the centralized online admission process (CAP) for Class 11 (FYJC). The Directorate of Education (Secondary and Higher Secondary), Maharashtra State, Pune, issued an official notice on July 6, 2026, announcing this extension. Since heavy rains led to holidays being declared on July 6, 2026 for higher secondary schools and junior colleges in several districts, this decision was taken to ensure students don’t suffer educational losses.
Admission confirmation possible till July 8
As per the circular signed by Director of Education Dr. Mahesh Palkar, students allotted junior colleges under Special Round-1 now have extended time until 6 PM on July 8, 2026 to confirm their admission at the college. The earlier deadline was shorter, but considering the emergency situation, “Revised Timetable 2” has been issued.
