Demanding that the state government streamline the admission process in arts and science colleges through a single window system, members of the MDMK filed an online petition to higher education minister K Anbalagan on Saturday.
In a reply to one of the petitions filed by the members in 2007, officials from the directorate of higher education have said that they had sent letters to the colleges in the state and were taking steps to implement the single window system.
Explaining that lakhs of students have been applying for arts and science group, V Eswaran from the MDMK said that students were forced to visit from one college to the other until they got admission.
“Upon streamlining the admission process, students would be able to identify the colleges in which they are eligible based on their cut-off marks. Now, as they do not know the cut-off marks for admission to a college, they are forced to visit multiple colleges,” he explained.
Usually, they are forced to pay the admission fee at the first college which offers them the seat as they are afraid of losing it. So, when the college of their first preference offers them a seat later, they are left without a choice but to give up the admission fee that they paid at the first college.
If a single window system is followed, students need not pay the application fee at multiple colleges or visit multiple colleges, he said, adding that the students could be confident of getting admissions.
Hinting that single window system is already in place in neighbouring states including Telangana and Kerala, he said that though in 2018 the state government had assured to implement the system this year, it was not implemented this year.
