Here's more on the same discussion: Episode 24 | Destruction of the Indian University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6qnXf0mfcg
As far as the current situation goes, I feel that (1) Goa University was more open to students in its earlier times (pre-1990s), and even working students and teachers could continue their education (Masters) there through afternoon-only classes... later this door was closed, ostensibly to improve the quality of education. Given the shortage of jobs here, few can afford to be full-time students for two more years. (2) There also is a shortage of guides and slots in many disciplines and schools. Yet, replacing one university with seven is a logic hard to understand.
