Simplify university admission process

My friend’s son is currently busy applying for admission to public universities both general and specialised. The fact that admission tests of these universities, scattered across the country, are held on their respective campus means he and whoever accompanies him will have to visit each and every campus physically-a challenge that all admission-seekers will have to face.
There are also the burdens of cost and time that they have to bear. Rajshahi University, for example, has 11 units. One can apply for as many units as one wants in order to increase their chance of succeeding. For each unit, you have to pay a good amount of money and the cost of units varies from one university to another. The online admission process is not very helpful either.
I think we can ease the admission process by introducing a combined admission test system for all public universities, which will both reduce hassle and save money.
