Question

Engineering students who will complete their graduation this year will find it difficult to get used to the advanced technology being used in the corporate world. Industrial standards are not met with the present infrastructure and quality of teaching in the universities. Hence, continuous upgradation is required. The New Education Policy is a positive step in this direction. However, there is a long way ahead to achieve desired results.
I. There are more engineering students this year that the job openings.
II. The engineering students graduating this year lack the required skills.
III. The infrastructure and teaching faculty currently available is not upto the corporate technological standards.
IV. Engineering students will have to upskill themselves or pursue management education to get better jobs.
V. The New Education Policy may help to meet the gap between the industrial requirements and the universities’ standards.

Q: Answer-Engineering students who will complete their graduation this year will find it difficult to get used...

In the above argument, the premise is that the engineering students this year will find adjusting to the corporate world difficult. On the basis of this premise and some other, the author draws a conclusion about the measures university should take. The author also mentions that New Education Policy can help to achieve those university measures. Assumptions I and IV are not relevant to the statement, as the statement doesnt talk about jobs or further course of action. Assumption II may be true as the lack of skills may cause adjustment issues to the advanced technology in corporate world. Assumption III is re-iteration of what is mentioned by the author in the statement Assumption V can be true as the author has mentioned that NEP may be a positive step in meeting the gap.

In each of these questions is given a statement followed by assumptions numbered I, II, III etc. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted.
