There being no sufficient number of feeder institutions, the colleges automatically run dry of the students from the community. Consequently, poor Muslims find themselves unwelcome even in their community-run colleges. The managements having invested heavily in apparatus, land, buildings and faculty, for obvious reasons, cannot scale down fee structure for poor students. It is against market rule and it applies to colleges run by all communities. But then the problem is not all that insurmountable.
Glamorous courses appeal to the bigwigs in the community.
Rs. 2 crore on grandiose buildings but not on helping students to study there in. Besides two prominent Muslim managements are in the queue with application for medical college. Going by their efficiency, it will be not surprising if they are sanctioned the same. But the community runs only around 125 High and Higher secondary schools. So the paucity of Muslim students is invariably the complaint with all Muslim colleges.
