  • Question
  • Statement: Should there be only one university throughout India?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. This is the only way to bring about uniformity in the educational standards.
    2. No. This is administratively impossible.
    3. Yes. This will make the degrees procured by students, comparable for offering jobs.


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

  • Correct Answer
  • Only II and III are strong 

    Explanation
    The use of the word 'only' in argument I makes it weak. To bring uniformity in educational standards, we can have many universities all following same curricular and policies under one Board. Also, having one university will make the management of education throughout the country almost impossible. So, argument II holds. Besides, it is the variation in the syllabi and assessment of different universities that makes their degrees incomparable, when the students from these universities come together to compete for a job on a common platform. This problem can be eradicated by implementing this scheme. So, argument III also holds strong.
