The third merit list for colleges affiliated to the Mumbai University (MU) is scheduled to be released today. However, popular city colleges said they have very few seats left to offer,  though the number of seats across colleges is higher than the number of students registered for admissions this year. Another issue this year is that results for CBSE and ICSE Std XII students are yet to be announced. Educationists are saying this will affect students with 90 per cent and above marks.

Speaking about vacant seats in her college, Principal of R D National college Neha Jagtiani said, “Less than 10 per cent to 20 per cent seats are left across all courses in our college. Once the admission process is completed, we will seek permission for extra seats from the Mumbai University. We are all waiting for the results of CBSE and ICSE Std XII results.”
