Why Was the FYJC Admissions 2025 Round 5 Seat Confirmation Deadline Extended?
Originally, students were expected to confirm their seats between 19 and 20 August, 2025. However, with weather-related disruptions affecting travel and documentation, the government has extended the confirmation deadline to ensure no student misses out on their junior college admission 2025.
Maharashtra FYJC Admissions 2025 Special Round 2 Details
In addition to the 5th round seat confirmation deadline extension, the State Education Department has also announced Special Round 2 of Maharashtra FYJC admissions, which is open to all eligible students. The details are as follows:
| Allotment List Release Date | Admission Process Window |
Junior College Verification (Jr. Colleges can admit, reject, or cancel student admissions during the same window) |
| 19 August 2025, by 11:00 a.m. | 19 August 2025, 01:00 p.m. to 22 August, 2025, 05:00 p.m. | 19 August 2025 01:00 p.m. to 22 August 2025, 05:00 p.m. |
This round is expected to benefit students who either did not get a seat in earlier rounds or wish to try for better options.
FYJC 2025 Lectures Already Started
Even as the admission process continues, First Year Junior College (FYJC) lectures began across Maharashtra on 11 August, 2025.
Despite multiple admission rounds, nearly 70,000 students are yet to confirm their seats in Maharashtra junior colleges. The 5th round seat confirmation extension and Special Round 2 allotment are expected to reduce this gap and help students settle into their academic schedules without further delay.
This means while many students are already attending classes, those still waiting for admissions now have a chance to catch up. If you confirm your seat after lectures have begun, make sure you have the right FYJC study material ready. It can make all the difference between scrambling to catch up and starting off prepared.
What Students Should Do Next
- Check the Special Round 2 allotment list on 19 August 2025 at 11:00 a.m..
- If allotted a seat, complete the admission process between 19 August 2025, 01:00 p.m. and 22 August 2025, 05:00 p.m.
- Carry all necessary documents for verification at the allotted junior college.
- Confirm admission early to avoid last-minute issues and start attending classes at the earliest.
Final Word
The combination of the extended deadline for FYJC 5th round admissions and the launch of Special Round 2 provides students with more opportunities to secure their place in junior colleges across Maharashtra. With classes already underway, students are encouraged to act quickly and confirm their seats before 22 August, 2025.
