Villupuram MP slams UGC’s move to make NET uniform test for PhD admissions

The Hindu  

Villupuram Member of Parliament D. Ravikumar has urged the Tamil Nadu Government to prevail upon the Centre and withdraw the decision of the University Grants Commission’s latest decision to make the National Eligibility Test scores the criteria for admission to Doctorate of Philosophy across the country, instead of entrance tests at the university level. In a letter addressed to Minister for Higher Education K. Ponmudy, Mr. Ravikumar said the decision of the UGC on NET scores for PhD admissions infringed on the rights of the States and the autonomy of universities to facilitate research. The Tamil Nadu Government should not implement the UGC directive and prevail upon the Centre to withdraw the decision, he said. The removal of university level entrance tests for PhD, will negatively affect the autonomy of institutions as well as the opportunity of students to attain PhD,” Mr. Ravikumar said.
