Gumbo. The reason is that one can have a post-graduate degree, but perform poorer than the one with a first graduate degree. It surely depends on the interviewing process and ensuring that it is not the degrees that, in the final analysis, determine quality; that quality is matched by degrees. So, I would say that a degree from a recognized university is enough. I do not mean the University of Jaipur or something else! The rest can be taken care of by the interviewing process. I plead with hon. Eng. Gumbo that, as much as in many cases, post- graduate degrees do in actual fact, go hand in hand with quality, there are cases where they may not say much about quality. So, I think a basic qualification is good enough."}
