The heavy rush for admission to undergraduate and PG courses of autonomous colleges has nothing to do with the quality of teaching or overall discipline. The only reason is: the college is autonomous.
The admission procedure in autonomous college is different from that of affiliated or non- autonomous colleges. Single application is sufficient for admission to non- autonomous colleges as they practice single window system. But each autonomous college demands separate application. and this places a huge burden on applicants. Moreover, one autonomous college will be in tie- up with adjacent autonomous college regarding question paper setting and valuation. This generates simple question papers and high marks to students which non- autonomous college students could not imagine. In fact an autonomous college student gets high marks but his standard is low compared to non- autonomous student.
So, the only way to protect standard of autonomous colleges is to conduct examination by the university. Valuation of answerscripts should done by examiners unknown to automous college teachers. Heavy rush and students' difficulty in getting admission can be avoided by introducing single window system for admission procedure in autonomous colleges.
