Baba Aya Singh College is a college in the village of Tuggalwala, Gurdaspur, Punjab, India, India. In this college there are no teachers and students pay no tuition fees and are taught to abhor cheating in exams. This college was created by Sardar Swaran Singh Virk in 1976 who was tired of promises by the politicians to create a college in his village. The first batch of students were 14 girls. At this time this college has 800 girl students.
When the college, with only one teacher, could not get affiliation, his students took the university exams as private candidates, under a facility provided exclusively for women. When his first batch of students showed excellent results, Swaran Singh's detractors were quick to pick holes. "He has no teachers and charges no fees. So he must be admitting only first divisioners,"went the criticism. In a reaction characteristic of the man, Swaran Singh decided to admit only third divisioners.
