AURANGABAD: Students seeking admission for polytechnic courses do not have to submit the school leaving certificate during the online registration process, according to the State Directorate of Technical Education (DTE).

The DTE has taken a policy decision to this effect anticipating difficulties in getting the document due to the outbreak of Covid-19, authorities concerned said.

Among other key changes, students who have completed their Class VIII and Class IX studies from outside Maharashtra can also apply for admission to polytechnic courses. The DTE has partially relaxed the domicile criteria for polytechnics and admission process will begin from Monday till August 25.

S P Shiralkar, a senior faculty associated with Government Polytechnic, Aurangabad, said the exemption in producing the school-leaving certificate will speed up the admission process. Earlier it was mandatory for students to complete their studies from Class VIII to Class X from Maharashtra to seek admission to diploma courses.

As per the official release, the DTE has designated 341 facilitation centres for polytechnic courses across the sate, including 52 such facilities for Aurangabad.

After filling online forms, students are expected to visit the nearest facilitation centre for verification of documents by seeking prior appointment.
