THIS is apropos of F. Nasim’s letter ‘MPhil, PhD admission criteria’ (June 11). The admission criteria policy should be changed by eliminating the NTS test. There are many reasons for it. First, a person has to qualify the NTS test and if he does so, he should further qualify the entry test conducted by University authorities. Furthermore, interviews are conducted to put the final nail into the coffin of our youth.

Getting admission becomes a headache not only for students but also for their parents who have great expectations. Heavy fees are charged by NTS and universities for entry tests. It is unfair. The Supreme Court should take notice of such dismal admission criteria.
