The Story in Brief
The Bar Council of India has approved Government Law College Mumbai and 18 other colleges, ending days of uncertainty for law aspirants. They will be added to the admission portal on Friday. The Bombay High Court has extended the deadline for filling college option forms to August 9 for both three-year LLB and five-year integrated law courses. The State CET Cell has proposed that students be allowed to reject their first-preference college and still participate in later CAP rounds, and to submit a fresh option form before each round. Commissioner Dileep Sardesai said the proposal awaits state government approval. Nearly 54,000 applicants for the three-year LLB programme face only 102 cleared colleges with 10,105 seats, leaving choices sharply limited.
The Indian Opinion
The Maharashtra law admission mess is being painted either as a college compliance failure or a regulator's slow walk. Both narratives miss the point. Colleges had years to pay fees and appoint faculty; the BCI could have flagged this earlier. The real test now is whether the state government approves the CET Cell's proposal to let students revise preferences after each round. If yes, the crisis becomes a one-time glitch. If no, thousands of aspirants will face a rigged choice, pick a lesser college now or risk losing a seat at GLC later. The answer will come within days.
