“Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing – the rest is mere sheep-herding” – These are the words of the famous poet Ezra Pound that stress on the fact that education must be imparted to those who really aspire for it. With the number of candidates seeking higher education on an ever increasing spree coupled with the problems of limited seats in universities for candidates, selection of the candidates with the maximum urge and potential remains a challenging task for universities. The selection process should be such that the brightest minds are selected and the process is fair enough to select the most deserving candidate.

However, the passing of such legislation is expected to interfere with the rights of the universities to manage its affairs on an independent basis as well as determine the shape of its student’s body.
