Some of the top colleges in Mumbai have recorded a 6% drop in the first-year junior college (FYJC) cut-offs for the academic session 2017-18. Change in quota rules that prevent the reserved category students from booking general category seats as well as few high scorers in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams 2017 are the reasons behind the cut-off drop.

Various colleges reported that there was a lot of chaos on July 11 as the merit list that was scheduled to be released at 5 pm on July 10 was released at 1 am in the morning. It was also revealed that the colleges were not able to access the merit lists before 11 am on July 11. Reports suggest that the delay was done on the part of the agency handling admissions – Nysa Asia.

The colleges also reported that the maximum dip in cut-offs was in the commerce field. Principal of Narsee Monjee College, Parag Ajagaonkar, said that the drop in cut-offs was due to the change in quota rules as the reserved category students cannot apply for general category seats. Until 2016, students of reserved categories were also allowed to apply for general seats.

Principal of Mithibai College, Ashok Wadia, said that the authorities were surprised to see such a huge drop in cut-offs even after 15 to 25 extra marks were awarded to students in the SSC exams for cultural and sporting activities.

Some of the experts reported that few SSC high scorers in 2017 is also one of the reasons why the cut-offs have dropped. In 2017, 10,991 students scored marks between 90% and 95% as compared to 12,523 students in 2016.
