Problems of current admission rounds

Time consuming.Lot of material and resources

wasted.Probability of error increases

because of elongated process.Academic year delays as the

admission process consumes too much of time.

Solution : Centralized Counseling Round

Only 1 round of centralized counseling.Can be held in major cities. Cities for

counseling rounds should be allotted as per the convenience of the students.

Maintain central database of college seats.

Students should be called merit wise and asked for their choice of college as per the availability of seats.

As soon as the seats get filled the database should be updated.

Problem 2: Document verification done twice

First time document verification of student is done just before the admission rounds start.

After allotment of college, students and the college authority have to again go through this process.

As the process is done twice, time and resources are wasted.

Solution : Maintain database of document verification

Maintain database of students along with their respective verified documents.

Send the database of the students to the colleges after admission rounds are over.

This process will save time and resources of college as repetitive work is avoided.

Problem 3: Lack of transparencyAs per the current admission

rounds , seats are still left in college after counseling rounds. It might happen that the college fills the seat in unethical manner.

Solution: Display student list of colleges

A stipulated time should be given to the colleges to complete their admission process.

After the admission process is completed each college should send the list of students along with their merit number to university.

The student list should also be uploaded on college website.
