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.

    Solution

    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 doesn’t 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.
