Seeking solutions
The government has tasked the higher secondary joint director (academic) and the Malappuram regional deputy director with studying the issue of sanctioning additional batches in Malappuram in the wake of talks with students’ organisations who had been on the warpath demanding additional batches to address the problem of shortage of seats, particularly in Malappuram.
Merit seats vacant after the conclusion of three allotments in the main phase and those vacant in aided schools after two rounds of allotment to community and management quota seats are taken into account for publishing the vacancies for supplementary allotment.
