Having a common admission test for all degrees seems to be ideal, and yet, it will be a great challenge, considering the diversity of higher education courses. The underlying principle for having a unified common admission test system is motivated by the principle of inclusion for collaborative excellence rather than exclusion through competitive excellence.

The challenge becomes more apparent in view of the fact that some higher education systems in India are under control of the central Government while others are either owned by private entities or controlled by state governments.

It is impossible to mandate the states and colleges to adopt such a uniform system. Similar situations prevail in universities since they are autonomous entities and admissions are presently governed by the statutes and ordinances of respective universities.
