Some people belive that universities should only accept students with high marks. Others think that students of all ages and ability levels should be able to attend. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Few of them are of the opinion that
students
with excellent academic grades should be admitted,
while
others think that pupils of all age groups with
skills
should be accepted in
colleges
. The primary reason why some of them think so is most
universities
have eligibility criteria and I think
students
should be accepted based on their
skills
. Most
universities
have eligibility criteria
while
accepting
students
reason being, they choose
students
with good grades as they think that
students
will be able to cope with the classes which invariably affects the ranking of these
Colleges
.
For instance
, Ivy League
Colleges
accept only
students
with high grades. Getting into
Colleges
like Harvard or Yale is very difficult as very few
students
meet their requirements. 
Similarly
, there are few
universities
which accept
students
based on their work experience or other
skills
as they have more practical knowledge of how to apply their
skills
to the practical world.
However
,
while
this
can be a drawback for most
students
I think
universities
should be more open to admitting
students
with talent and giving them an opportunity to present their
skills
.
Besides
giving importance to only educational scores,
universities
should have an entrance exam for
such
students
in order to test their practical knowledge.
For example
, some
universities
have an entrance exam which gives an opportunity for
students
to score well before admitting them.
Students
choosing MBBS have to clear the entrance exam.
To conclude
,
students
should not be judged based on their academics and rather give them an opportunity to learn.
Moreover
, having
such
requirements will only demotivate
students
who may not have had great scores.
