Mumbai:

For first-year junior college aspirants in the state, digital statements of their Class X marks, certificates or an undertaking would be enough for provisional admissions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a circular issued on Thursday, the school education department has stated students applying under various quotas can upload their relevant documents online. In case students do not have the documents or are unable to upload them due to technical difficulties, they can give an undertaking that they would submit the original documents at a later date. The students’ admission until then would be provisional.

Similarly, students will also be able to use the digital statement of marks received for their Class X results in case they do not have a hard copy of the marksheet. “Considering the current situation, students can upload the digital statement of marks. The students can submit the school leaving certificate or passing certificate to be verified later," said the circular.

Students would have three months to submit the original documents.

The Phase I of form filling, which requires students to fill out personal information and marks, will be opened up on August 1. Students will also be able to access the admissions information booklet in a few days.
