9. Equally, we are also not oblivious of the importance of discipline among students. Universities today have striven to ensure principled conduct for the admission of students and the transition to higher education. The code of conduct is amongst the necessary elements which are known today for admission of any student in schools or universities. The admission procedures in universities have become increasingly influenced by stringent rules of disciplinary code in universities. Schools, colleges and universities, as well as other institutions, organizations and individuals dedicated to the pursuit of higher education, should also believe in the dignity, worth and potential of each and every student. Regardless of the college's evaluation system on marks and merit, students should present a well- rounded picture of their skills, experience, personal traits that includes character, disciplinary recommendation by previous institution. Even though admission relies majorly on merit, yet disciplinary code of conduct plays it own important role in admission of a student. The objective of Universities to rely on a discipline code for admission of students in a course includes enforcing academic rules to promote a community atmosphere in which learning can best take place. Such an atmosphere can be maintained only so long as every student believes that his or her academic competence is being judged fairly and that he or she will not be put at a disadvantage because of someone else‟s indiscipline. Discipline in schools and universities must be recognized as prioritized criteria for admission of a student in a particular course. The acceptance of a student‟s application can only be on pure basis of the character certificate issued by the prior institute where the student was receiving education. Discipline is an important step in any institution and especially a university which is considered to be the temple of education and where a student shall learn the basic ethics of professionalism coupled with discipline, once he enters into the market. Every university in India abides by their admission rules/policies which are set by members of a Committee who are expertise with admission norms for students according to their skills, personal traits, discipline and merit. Merit although being an important criteria for admission cannot alone stand as a factor for compulsory admission of a student. Discipline in all forms influences a student‟s personal image throughout their student-life. Every university now has special clauses and criteria for discipline amongst students so as to maintain the dignity, goodwill and reputation of that particular university. Therefore discipline plays an important role in any student‟s career and universities should make it a compulsion for every student to have a god character certificate to which they may be granted admission in another institute.
