  • Question
  • Statement: Should people with educational qualification higher than the optimum requirements be debarred from seeking jobs?

    Arguments:

    1. No. It will further aggravate the problem of educated unemployment.
    2. Yes. It creates complexes among employees and affects the work adversely.
    3. No. This goes against the basic rights of the individuals.
    4. Yes. This will increase productivity.


  • Options
  • A. Only I and III are strong
  • B. All are strong
  • C. Only II and IV are strong
  • D. Only III is strong
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only III is strong 

    Explanation
    The issue discussed in the statement is nowhere related to increase in unemployment, as the number of vacancies filled in will remain the same. Also, in a working place, it is the performance of the individual that matters and that makes him more or less wanted, and not his educational qualifications. So, neither I nor II holds strong. Besides, the needs of a job are laid down in the desired qualifications for the job. So, recruitment of more qualified people cannot augment productivity. Thus, IV also does not hold strong. However, it is the right of an individual to get the post for which he fulfils the eligibility criteria, whatever be his extra merits. Hence, argument III holds strong.
