Nagpur Division Sees Low Enrollment for Class 11 Seats
Imagine that in Nagpur, not enough students are signing up for 11th grade, and many seats might stay empty.
This year, all of Maharashtra is using an online system for these admissions for the first time.
Only half of the available seats have been taken, even though online registration closed.
There are many more seats available than students who took the 10th grade exam.
Education experts think that non-English medium schools may not have many students and that the government needs to help figure out what to do.
It will take some time before all institutions can reach their goals.
Only about 50% of the available Class 11 seats in Nagpur division were filled.
Online registrations for Class 11 admissions closed on June 5.
This is the first time the entire state of Maharashtra has used an online system for Class 11 admissions.
There are 2.13 lakh seats available, but only over one lakh students have registered.
Educationists suggest the issue might be with non-English medium seats.
