Mumbai came tops in the just-released Maharashtra SSC results with a pass percentage of 87.93%.

Pune pipped Kolhapur to the second place by a slim margin.

Pune registered a pass percentage of 85.91, while Kolhapur came a close third with 85.75.

Even though the SSC results have been declared today, the first merit list for general category will not be out until July 22.

Students will have to wait for the FYJC online admission process to begin.

Though students can start filling their online application forms from June 22, they will be able to submit their forms only after they receive their mark sheets on June 27 and colleges surrender their minority seats.

Results can also be accessed on mobile phones by sending text messages. Type MHSSC followed by space then seat number and send to 57766 or 573335000.

Though the education department was hoping to kick off the FYJC admission process immediately after the SSC results, the online admission process can only begin after the students receive their mark sheets.
