dated August 30, 1957 (there being no issue of the paper dated August 29): “Degree not necessary”

That a university degree should not be insisted upon except for the higher level of Government service is the majority recommendation of the Public Service (Qualifications for Recruitment) Committee’s report which was placed along with a dissenting note on the table of both Houses of Parliament on August 28. The 10-member Committee, headed by Dr. A. Ramaswami Mudaliar, says that university degree as a requirement for Government service should continue to have its appropriate place but it need not be a necessary qualification for all levels of services. For lower and middle level of public services, that is, clerical and services other than Class I executive, the degree qualification should be abolished. The Committee, set up in April 1955 to examine the need for a university degree as a prerequisite qualification for Government service, also recommends a recruitment examination for all levels of Government service.
