Maharashtra SSC Class 10th Exam results 2017: Admissions to be tough in junior colleges
The cut-offs are high at the junior colleges. This means only the 100 per cent scorers may will pull the cut-offs at junior colleges.

Many junior college principals agreed that the competition will be tough for state board students. "The competition will be tough this year. While many state board students have scored 100 per cent, only a small chunk falls into the above 90 per cent category. They will find it difficult to get admission to reputed colleges where cut-offs are high," said Shobhana Vasudevan, principal of R A Podar College of Commerce and Economics said a report in the Indian Express.
Commerce stream will continue to have high cut-offs this year, she said. Ancy Jose, principal of Nagindas Khandwala College in Malad, said cut-offs will be higher for Commerce given the rise in demand. "Even as the overall performance of state board students was poor, the ones who secured 100 per cent will pull up the cut-offs," Jose said, adding Science stream may see a dip in cut-offs, the report also stated.
