Report of the Public Service (Qualification for Recruitment) Committee- A.Ramaswami Mudaliar

Why constituted?

  • University Degree has always been considered for all as a minimum qualification except for technical and professional courses.
  • It was natural and universal for the employers to go for graduates who had a fair knowledge of English.
  • People who struggled economically could not get into government services as they could not afford a university education.
  • While a university degree should continue to be the minimum qualification for the higher levels of government service, it need not be insisted upon for groups that are not so high.
  • Apart from academic standards, university education goes with it and carries specific cultural values and maturity of outlook.
  • Personality is a complex phenomenon built up through various experiences, of which experience in a university is an important one.
  • University education should be disassociated from employment prospects.

The Committee mainly focussed on the following:

  1. Discussed Recruitment, Method of Promotion, Training, Limitation of Numbers
  2. A University degree is the minimum qualification for recruitment into higher services.
  3. 21-23 years age limit for the highest executive and administrative services
