Reason to Make it a Common Entrance Nationally	1.      Syllabus:- States have their own syllabus, while CBSE has their own.   2.      Date Clash:- The scheduled dates seem to clash. Same date is why some students cannot give all exams. 3.      Different Examination Pattern:- Examination patterns are sometime from another state’s pattern.
