Everybody should be allowed admission to university study programs regardless of their academic ability

Securing

in institutes of higher learning is often dependent on the merits and academic abilities of the

student

. Some argue that all students should have the opportunity to study in

universities irrespective

universities, irrespective

of their knowledge and skills. I disagree with

this

argument and believe that

admission

should be merit based.

To begin

with, the most sought after academic courses often have limited seats, and

hence

all applicants cannot be admitted.

This

is not surprising, though. Unlike schools which admit all students, universities are for specialized learning.

Therefore

Linking Words

, universities use certain selection criteria

such

as academic qualifications and other skills to decide whether a

is eligible for

admission

.

This

will, of course, mean that only the meritorious can secure

admission

.

For instance

, a recent survey in ‘The Hindu’ revealed that in India only 10% of those applying for engineering courses are able to secure a place for themselves. Another reason not to admit all students is that university programmes require students to demonstrate a certain level of intellectual capacity. Not everybody can become a doctor or a scientist even if seats are available.

Moreover

, a

student

who is not capable of learning a specific subject will not benefit from joining it.

For example

Linking Words

, a

student

who has no aptitude for medicine or engineering will not benefit from joining a medical college or engineering college. If they do, they will not be able to learn the concepts or put them into practice.

This

will be a sheer wastage of valuable resources.

Hence

Linking Words

it is evident that if a

student

joins a course which he is not capable of comprehending, it will benefit neither

nor the society. To conclude, in my opinion,

admission

to universities should be based on the academic credentials of the students. Only

then

will our universities be able to produce high achievers who can contribute something to the society.
