Uniformity should be made in the arrangements for acceptance of courses, administration, appointment of faculty, salary and so forth.

Stressing the need to make arrangements according to the interests of the students, the Governor said that integrated arrangements should be made in a manner that depositing fees at any one place should not act as a hindrance to the choice of the student’s course and institute options. The system of depositing the fee in a centralised bank account at the time of admission should be tested.
