MARGAO: All eyes are focused on the Chowgule higher secondary school as the management is expected to come out with the merit list and the cut off percentage for admissions for XI science and arts stream.
Around 375 students who have applied for on-line admissions since the last three days are keeping their fingers crossed as the Chowgule management is maintaining stoic silence over the number of admissions for XI science stream.
Though Chowgule’s intake capacity for XI science is put at 200 seats, the management had admitted less than 150 students for the last academic year, raising doubts whether the management would fill up to the total seats or give admissions only for a limited seats.
When this question was posed the deputy education director, Ramkrishna Samat by worried parents two days ago, he merely replied saying the education department will act in the matter only after the Chowgule management announces the number of seats for XI science.
When contacted, Chowgule College principal R V Gaonkar told Herald that admissions would depend purely on the merit list and the percentage of the students.
“We will go strictly by the merit list. Students will come to know of the merit list and the cut off percentage by Monday”, he added.
Students, however, have found themselves in a tight spot after having applied for admissions when the government opened the admissions before Chowgule higher secondary school opened on-line admissions.
“We had applied for admissions after the government announced the takeover of the school from t his academic year and thinking that all the 200 seats will be filled up by the government. But, with the Chowgule HSS not coming out clear on the number of seats, we have no option than to keep our fingers crossed”, remarked a student.
