In the question below, are given a passage followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Passage: Many Engineering graduates in India ends up doing anything but Engineering jobs. Some switch to entirely unrelated fields of work like Finance or Arts but most of them are unemployed. A recent survey has highlighted that among the unemployed graduates, 66% are Engineers while only 10% of the Engineering graduates do Engineering jobs. Courses of action: I. A law must be passed banning Engineering graduates from taking up other professions. II. The Government must appoint a committee to find out the reasons for these findings. III. A law must be passed to close all Engineering Colleges with less than 5% core job placement rate.

Course of Action I does not provide a solution to the problem. Moreover, freedom to choose any profession is a fundamental right and the same cannot be encroached upon.
Hence, Course of Action I does not follow.
Let’s evaluate Course of Action II.
It is a viable action and very much required to find out the exact reasons for the gap between Education and Jobs.
Hence, Course of Action II follows.
Course of Action III is not a solution because we do not know the exact reason why job conversion rate is low. It could be because of the lack of Opportunities in Job Market (Demand of labor problem) or lack of quality education (Supply of labor problem). Even if it is the latter, we cannot say with certainty that it is the problem of Engineering Colleges alone. It could be a systemic problem also. So, no such decision can be made without proper information.
Hence, Course of Action III does not follow.
So, only Course of Action II follows.
