"The GST admission test is a timed process. Its not easy for any university to leave this system. We need to coordinate with the Ministry of Education and the UGC.
Hence, the UGC and the Ministry of Education have requested all the universities not to withdraw from the GST admission test system”, said the VC.
UGC did a meeting with the VCs of all the 24 universities on January 14 where the VCs were unanimous to stay in the GST admission test system and for transparency and answerability UGC will construct a committee, she said.

It was revealed in the meeting that a committee will be formed soon to create a framework for organizing a single admission test for all universities under the National Testing Authority (NTA)."
Professor Sadeka halim believes that to make the GST admission test system more effective all the universities have to be united in a point.
