The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Class 10 results were declared on Wednesday and the Maharashtra’s passing percentage this year went up to 95.30 per cent.
It is the highest passing percentage of the state in last decade and the good performance will impact the cut-off lists of prominent colleges for Class 11 (first year junior college) admissions in the city.
A total of 15,466 students have scored more than 90 per cent marks in Pune division.
“This year’s SSC results are excellent and it will certainly have an impact on the Class 11 admissions.
The cut-off list for admission will increase by around 5 per cent and students will have to fare well in tests and interviews to get a seat in colleges of their wish.
The office of deputy director of education (DYDE), Pune should allow colleges for “extra intake” of students for this year.
Last year, some colleges were allowed to take 10 per cent extra intake of students,” said Rajendra Zunjarrao, principal of Modern College of Arts Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar.
Fergusson College principal Ravindrasinh Pardeshi said, “Every student wants to get admission in good colleges.
It will be a tough competition to get admission in prominent colleges in the city this year because of record SSC results.”
Deputy director of education, Pune, has started the Class 11 admission process online from July 16.
