I. The Governments in several States have evolved different norms for selection of candidates to the engineering, medical and other professional courses.

II. The emergence of the self-financing professional colleges over the last two decades has in a way eased the situation but other complications arose, mainly relating to the huge amounts collected by way of capitation fees euphemism for donation, not of a voluntary type and the tuition fees levied.

III. The Supreme Court’s intervention has now resulted in a fee structure which goes to prove that the remedy is worse than the disease.

IV. The competition is very stiff, a sort of adjustment in relation to reservation, quota for other States and special categories becomes necessary but nowhere in the country has a satisfactory system been evolved.
