Given below is an article in jumbled form. Arrange P, Q, R, S to make it sensible. |
P: Why? When bright students look around India for a place to study for an advanced degree, they find few top-quality programmes. In the social sciences and humanities, there are a small number of respectable departments, but absolutely none that are considered by international experts as in the top class of academic programmes. |
Q: Not only are overseas programmes and departments more prestigious, they also have far better facilities, laboratories and a more favourable culture of research. Top faculty members are often more accessible and it is easier to become affiliated with a laboratory or institute. |
R: Post-graduate students from India are increasingly choosing to study abroad. The |
U.S. Council of Graduate Schools' new statistics show that offers of admission to Indian post-graduate students are up 25 per cent for 2013-14 from the previous year, compared to a 9 per cent increase for all countries. |

Further, a degree from a top foreign university tends to be valued more in the Indian job market than a local degree ? a perception based not only on snobbery but also on facts. |

We stand poised precariously and challengingly on the razor's edge of destiny. We are now at the mercy of nuclear bombs and the like, which would destroy us completely if we fail to control them wisely.
