Applicants, registering online for the 25 percent seats reserved for school students from economically weaker sections of society, under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, on Saturday claimed that no registration link on Maharashtra School Education and Sports Department’s official website.
While the online application process started on Saturday, the candidate pointed out registration link was not available on http://www.student.maharashtra.gov.in till Sunday afternoon.

Besides that, many other errors were observed while filling forms. In the morning, a few parents who tried filling forms told us that in the options on religion and category, there is no option of Scheduled Caste at all…,” said Vivek Bansode, district head of Republican Vidyarthi Sena, told The India Express.
