The infrastructure facility available in state universities not enough for the students those who are under going for their university education. Due to insufficient of infrastructure facilities learning and teaching process of the university would be retarded. As a result student might get less interest regarding subject matter. In meantime it volition lead student scramble against the prevailing system. It is true that the government and University Grant Commission along would not accomplish all these issues arising in the university system. Therefore in this context the involvement of private sector in this regard highly accepted.17. Competitiveness in university education. Sri Lanka imagine as middle income country unavoidably more and more educated younger generations to achieve goals. A number of universities available at present not enough to meet this challenge. Therefore university and tertiary education has become very competitive. Not only within Sri Lanka itself but also in global stipulation we experience in the same situation. entranceway to higher education has been increasing rapidly all over the world. today due(p) to this situation the model of higher education has change from elect(ip) to mass.18. In state university the student beh ave sort of arbitrary manner, enjoying free education not concerning approximately the education they are receiving. But in a situation where they are changed for education allow for they believe care that when the students have to pay considerably higher amount of money for education they have to manage to get the maximum use of it. That is the main struggle for them. And their parents also highly concern about the quality of the education they are receiving. The university bodies are continuously conscious to maintain to standard of their degree programmers. In this situation student naturally compel to introduce this competitiveness in healthy manner. Generally university education system must be competitive, when there is a disputation in education more and more private university would immerge in the argument.19. In comparing to the opposite countries in the world they have introduced variety of university degree program. It get out helpful for students those who are i nterest with event subject matter. And also it impart create condition for students to study their hearty condition.

Most of the universities in Sri Lanka at present imbue out covering every parts of the country. But when it concern about the standard of the degree as well as the recognition of the university, it is disagree from university to university. Therefore most of the students competition is to join and follow their degree program in well recognized university. Though there is universities spread in every part of the country there is requirement of enlisting the student particular university in same area. Therefore there should be an equal educational standard need for each university. Most of the private sector interest for item universities only. With that intention university students behavioral pattern vary university to university.22. The universities which are closer to city of Colombo And Kandy area students getting mor e beneficiaries alternatively than other universities, such as professional lecturers, library facilities, hostel facilities and other facilities.
