Statement : Should all the colleges in India be allowed to devise their own curriculum and syllabus for the vocational courses promoting self-employment? Arguments : I. Yes. This is an important step to generate employment opportunities. II. No. This will affect the quality of education due to lack of uniformity in syllabus.

The correct answer is: Only argument I is strong.

Argument I is strong because it provides a clear and convincing reason why all colleges in India should be allowed to devise their own curriculum and syllabus for the vocational courses promoting self-employment. The argument states that this is an important step to generate employment opportunities. This is because allowing colleges to devise their own curriculum and syllabus will allow them to tailor their courses to the specific needs of their students and the local job market. This will make it more likely that students will be able to find jobs after they graduate, which will help to generate employment opportunities.

Argument II is weak because it does not provide a clear and convincing reason why all colleges in India should not be allowed to devise their own curriculum and syllabus for the vocational courses promoting self-employment. The argument states that this will affect the quality of education due to lack of uniformity in syllabus. However, this does not necessarily follow. It is possible for colleges to devise their own curriculum and syllabus without compromising the quality of education. In fact, it is possible that allowing colleges to devise their own curriculum and syllabus could actually improve the quality of education by making it more relevant to the needs of students and the local job market.

Therefore, only argument I is strong.
