Statement: Should new universities be established in India?
Arguments:
- No. We have still not achieved the target for literacy.
- No. We will have to face the problem of unemployed but highly qualified people.
Answer: Option E
Clearly, instead of improving upon higher education, increasing the literacy rate should be heeded first. So, argument I holds. Also, more number of universities will produce more degree holders with the number of jobs remaining the same, thus increasing unemployment. So, argument II also holds strong.
