[amp_mcq option1=”Promotion of Western education” option2=”Training of Indian civil servants” option3=”Religious conversion efforts” option4=”Military training for Indian recruits” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: a) Promotion of Western education.<\/p>\n
Presidency College was established in Madras in 1857 by the British East India Company. It was the first college in India to offer a Western-style education. The college was modeled after the University of London and offered courses in arts, sciences, and law. The establishment of Presidency College was a significant step towards the promotion of Western education in India.<\/p>\n
Option b) is incorrect because Presidency College did not train Indian civil servants. The Indian Civil Service was a British civil service that administered British India. Indian civil servants were recruited through the Indian Civil Service Examination, which was held in London.<\/p>\n
Option c) is incorrect because Presidency College did not engage in religious conversion efforts. The British East India Company was a secular organization and did not promote any particular religion.<\/p>\n
Option d) is incorrect because Presidency College did not provide military training for Indian recruits. The British East India Company had its own military, which was recruited from Britain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
