The Kothari Commission (1964-66), chaired by D. S. Kothari, was a comprehensive commission on education in India. While its primary focus was on restructuring the education system, it also touched upon the link between education and employment. The Commission recommended reforming the examination and selection processes for public services, suggesting that a university degree should not be the sole criterion for recruitment and advocating for general aptitude tests and broader criteria. This aligns with the idea that a degree "need not be essential" as the only requirement for administrative services, particularly when considering different levels and types of roles, or when emphasizing aptitude over specialized degrees.
Which Commission has stated that the University degree need not be essential for the administrative services?
