Ahead of Independence Day, MiD DAY asks college students what'd bring them academic freedom. Wishes range from canteen-turned-classrooms, on demand examinations, CCTv monitoring and even freedom control!

Academic freedom should be all about opting for a course of your choice, and no one else's. There should be no examination or interview to get into any college or university: being judgmental isn't fair. We also need more universities.

There is already too much academic independence in our country. I want some of this freedom to be curtailed. One important step is to stop brain drain. Respecting a free country's resources is the first step to all freedom.

There should be CCTV cameras installed inside every classroom to keep vigil. It might check one's immediate freedom, but will only ensure it later.

The curriculum should be designed such that students enjoy it, and attending classes should be made a matter of free will.

Bunking should be made legal, so free time is used fruitfully, without fear. Also, there are many subjects in any course that students don't want to pursue in future; these should be scrapped
