  • Question
  • Statement:
    Should admission to all professional courses be made on the basis of past academic performance rather than through entrance tests?
    Arguments:
    I. Yes. It will be beneficial for those candidates those who reunable to bear the expenses of entrance tests.
    II Yes. Many deserving candidates securing high marks in their qualifying academic examinations do not perform well on such entrance tests.
    III. No. The standard of examinations and assessment conducted by different Boards and universities are not comparable and hence there is a need to conduct entrance tests to calibrate them on a common yardstick.


  • Options
  • A. Only I and II are strong
  • B. Only II and III are strong
  • C. Only I and III are strong
  • D. Only III is strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only III is strong 

    Explanation

    Clearly, a policy to select deserving candidates cannot be abolished just because of the expenditure it entails. So, argument I does not hold. Also, students who are intelligent enough to secure good marks in academic exams have no reason not to perform well in entrance tests. So, II also does not hold. Further, the students passed out from different universities are assessed on different patterns and hence a common entrance test would put the candidates to uniform test and assessment. So, only III holds strong.
