The information booklet published by the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education regarding the class 11 centralised online admission process says, “Students who have passed std. 10th from secondary school (within same premises) of the same management who run Junior Colleges are eligible for Inhouse quota admission in those Jr. Colleges.”
Inhouse quota in junior colleges will only be available to students of schools run by the same management that are located on the “same premises”, states new guidelines for class 11 or First Year Junior College (FYJC) admissions by the State Directorate of Education.
The admission process accommodates approximately 20 lakh seats across the state, with 8.52 lakh seats allocated to the Science stream, 5.40 lakh seats to Commerce, and 6.50 lakh seats to Arts. To improve accessibility, the official portal was briefly taken offline to enable mobile compatibility, ensuring a smoother application process for students.
