The government today asked the newly created central universities to conduct a combined entrance exam for students and design innovative courses on the unique ecosystem of the region. The vice chancellors of 15 of these universities met HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today and presented their development plan and courses. Mr. Sibal told reporters that the single entrance system may be extended to other existing 25 central universities later. The single entrance is expected to make the admission process smooth for students who otherwise have to appear in multiple tests to get admission into the University of their Choice.<br/>These universities have been created by the Central Act 2009. While 12 new universities have been created under the Act, three existing state universities have been given the central university status.<br/><br/>
