According to sources, some central universities experts who took part in the subject committee meeting raised serious concerns about lack of necessary research skills among students when enrolling for the undergraduate courses in the universities. They recommended introducing internal assessment with hands-on and experiential learning for students from the first year intermediate.

However, this recommendation was contended by some experts, who raised concerns about private and corporate junior colleges favouring their students and awarding full scores in internal assessments.
