IELTS ESSAY UNIVERSITIES ADMISSION

More and more universities, today, are establishing higher intake score benchmarks for aspirants under a specified age - for entry. Many find these stipulations quite rational though many voice their dissent over this, calling it unfair.

Varsities are premier places of education that have limited spaces. The dilemma of the authorities, in this case, is quite justifiable. If everyone were rendered a chance of entering these institutions, the possibility of the most deserving learners being deprived of opportunities of finding a place would increase by virtue of first come first serve rule coming into play. This would mean a great loss not only for the students but also for the society, as well.

Moreover, university courses need an intensive full-time study routine, as well as a high level of intellect, which average performers and ones being unable to commit themselves completely due to professional and personal obligations, may find it hard to cope with. This would not only cause a decline in quality of outcomes but also a rise in drop-outs. Thus, causing financial loss too – due to loss of fee with learners leaving mid-way.  

Some, nevertheless, find little substance in this policy. They feel, marks scored in exams – which may be obtained using strategies and unfair means -  fail to not elucidate true brilliance. Furthermore, an older individual may not have been able to enroll for a course because of certain limitations, but may be needing to join one in order to augment their skills. This would quite an injustice to those people.

To conclude, I feel that it is even though true that varsities need to prevent chaos and also maintain their academic reputation, a middle path must be discovered to also let in those who are willing to find a place in these institutions.
