Nashik: State School Education Minister Dada Bhuse has ordered an inquiry against junior colleges which granted offline admissions to Class 11th students, resulting in major complications during their form submissions for Class 12th board examination.The issue surfaced after thousands of students who completed two years of Plus Two education encountered severe hurdles in submitting their examination forms as their U-DISE or online admission validation records were missing, generating system errors.“Certain institutions have granted offline admissions on a large scale. A thorough inquiry will be conducted into this matter. Action will be taken against institutions found guilty of wrongdoing. Keeping the students’ best interests in mind, the govt is considering solutions to ensure their academic year is not disrupted,” the Education Minister said, assuring parents and students that no candidate would suffer due to procedural lapses.Applications from students are pouring in for corrections after they were unable to find the relevant information required for completing the filing process. The issue stems from students taking offline admissions to Standard XII because of various reasons, including network connectivity issues in rural areas.Saroj Jagtap, Secretary, Nashik Divisional Board, said, integrating all students into the online admission database is crucial to prevent errors during result declaration and enable smooth integration with DigiLocker and APAAR IDs. In Nashik division, affected students belonging to recognised, state-approved junior colleges have approached the education department for corrections.
