The State Government is thinking of permitting all its universities to conduct courses of different streams like engineering, medical, arts, science and law under one roof.
At present, a university can only conduct courses that are relevant to its specialization. Some years ago, Universities, including University of Madras.
Had affiliated colleges imparting all types of courses like BE, MBBS, BA, B.Sc., etc.
Later the Government began creating universities exclusive for engineering studies (Anna University) medicine (Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University) and law (Dr Ambedkar Law University) “Any University can conduct any course they want as the Act does not have any restriction with regard to imparting courses.
