On the other hand, the Class 10 exams 2021 in Maharashtra have been cancelled, and conducting an entrance exam for 2021 FYJC admissions might not be the best option. If the government wants to conduct an entrance exam, it has to inform students at least six months in advance, as students will start preparing for the entrance exam.
With the current Covid-19 second wave situation, the entrance exam for FYJC admissions may not be implemented for the academic session 2021-22. However, students will need to wait for few more days for an official update. The admission process for first-year Junior Colleges is expected to begin in July.
