St. Xavier's College in Ahmedabad has caught the education department's eye for skipping the centralised admission system. With online registration on Gujarat Common Admission Services (GCAS) closing soon, the autonomous college received an urgent summons from higher education officials on Thursday. The college has chosen to run its own online process instead of joining GCAS for filling its 2,300 first-year seats.

When asked for comment, Father Vinayak Jadav, principal of St Xavier's College, confirmed meeting with education department officials. "We will consult our trustees on Friday and decide based on the consensus," he said.

7 autonomous colleges join, Xavier's stands alone
