Question 30

Statements:

Engineering graduates have grown in large numbers. But the country is still facing a shortage of good engineers. The starting salaries have come down. Either the young graduates do not get any jobs, or they get jobs which offer a low starting salary. If it is not a problem of plenty, then what should be done?

Courses of Action:
  1. Engineering seats should be reduced.
  2. The starting salaries should be doubled.
 A

Only II follows.

 B

I or II follows.

 C

Neither I nor II follows.

 D

Only I follows.

Soln.
Ans: C

The problem can't be solved by reducing the seats, or doubling the salaries. The root of the problem is badly oriented engineering syllabi. Starting salaries are lower because the employers have had bad experiences with earlier recruits and want some time to see the suitability of candidates.
