Plus One Second Allotment to Be Published Sunday Evening, Classes from July 6

Thiruvananthapuram: Keralam's Plus One second allotment will be published on Sunday evening, with those securing seats able to complete admission at schools from 10 am Monday to 5 pm Tuesday. Admission procedures under the first allotment were completed by Wednesday.

The first allotment had covered 2,46,638 students, of whom only 2,20,465 joined schools. Of these, 96,721 took temporary admission, either anticipating a higher option or fearing loss of their allotted seat, while only 1,23,744 students secured permanent admission by paying fees.

Despite being allotted seats, 24,978 students could not join schools within the stipulated time due to anomalies in the fee structure and distance constraints. Additionally, 1,195 allotments were cancelled owing to errors in applications. The 26,173 seats freed up on these counts have now been brought under consideration for the second allotment.

The second allotment will be conducted by combining the 71,264 seats that remained vacant after the first allotment with these cancelled and freed-up seats. More than 97,000 students are still without seats, and authorities claim they will be accommodated through the second and third allotments.

Admissions under the third allotment will take place on the 29th and 30th. Among the 1,318 seats in MRS schools run under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Development Departments, only 983 have been filled so far. In the VHSE stream, only 13,813 of the 25,122 students who featured in the first allotment have joined schools so far.
