Statement: Should colleges be given the status of a university in India?
Arguments:
- Yes. Colleges are in a better position to assess the student's performance and therefore the degrees will be more valid.
- No. It is Utopian to think that there will not be nepotism and corruption in awarding degrees by colleges.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, at the college level, all the students are assessed according to their performance in the University Exams and not on the basis of any criteria of a more intimate dealings with the students. So, argument I is vague. Also, at this level the awarding of degrees is impartial and simply based on his performance. So, argument II also does not hold.

Statement II is the direct consequence of the condition if degrees are given by the college. So why won't the second statement hold true?

If we judge every system on Utopian criteria then nothing will get done. Yes, corruption and nepotism should be considered but they shouldn't be the sole factor.

How 2nd can't be hold. When we already know corruption can be at any level. Utopian thinking is still impractical and nepotism prevails.
