Maharashtra government has been doing enough harm to students and parents by frequently changing the college admission rule and requirements. Ninety percent of the seats are now reserved for SSC Board students and only ten percent seats are available for non-SSC Board students, i.e., from CBSC/ICSE/IB students. Non-SSC Mumbai students have to compete for seats with other out-side Mumbai (Maharashtra) students, including increasing number of aspirants from abroad. The situation is very serious and may result in widespread panic, student unrest and violence.
To begin with, the non-SSC students are coming from Central Schools and children of parents with transferable jobs (banks, military, government servants, etc). In reality, the syllabus is much more demanding than SSC Board. In fact, these students should be given preference in admissions (it used to be the case earlier).
Every Indian citizen wishes that politicians should not politicalize the education system and eliminate the quota system for ever. The governments should seriously draw up long-term solution, such as common evaluation system for admissions, to reduce the disparity between the Boards so that every student feels that he or she is not discriminated against other students from different boards in the same State.
