Pune: A special round of admissions on first-cum-first-serve basis will be conducted for quota seats in schools under Right to Education, for the first time in 2019.

The special round will be conducted after three regular rounds. The RTE admissions are implemented in private unaided schools in Maharashtra every year for Standard I to VIII.

“We will soon announce the time table and the date from which the eligible schools should start filling the forms online with their details of vacant seats for each class, among others,” Dinkar Temkar, director of education (primary), said.

Temkar said the school principals will be trained for the procedure in the next two weeks. “After this training, schools will be told to start registering on the portal tentatively from the second week of January,” Temkar said.

A detailed time table of all the rounds will be announced after the schools are registered.
