As a result, our higher education system has succeeded in producing graduates and post graduates who neither meet the needs of the industry nor are they capable of functioning independently in any office.

In any case, this is their fundamental right. Similarly, the university, being autonomous self regulating body, has the fundamental right to impart education in the manner it deems appropriate to the willing
