The state education department has postponed the entire admission process to standard XI by at least two days as the stay granted by Bombay
High Court was not vacated till Saturday.
"The process had to be deferred at least by two days presently. However, in case the stay is not lifted by the court on Monday then we have to further delay the process," deputy director of education in Nagpur Govind Nandede told TOI.
Assistant director of education and in-charge of standard XI admissions Rajendra Godhne said that they had earlier directed all junior colleges to fill up there management quota of bifocal seats before July 6 so that spot admission for bifocal courses starts on July 8.
"Since the court's stay was not vacated, even those seats were not filled up yet. The spot admissions at DNC will be conducted only after management quota is fully filled up," he said.
The Bombay High Court had stayed all admissions to standard XI after parents of students from CBSE and ICSE filed a public interest litigation against state government decision to implement 90:10 quota in all junior colleges affiliated to Maharashtra state board.
The quota reserves 90% seats for students clearing standard Xth examination from state board in these junior colleges and 10% for the students from other boards.

Prateek Pophali who scored 626/650 marks was placed first in the check list of bifocal admissions. The rules do not allow a student to score more than the total marks and hence his one mark was deducted and his total was brought to 650/650.
