Given below is an article in jumbled form.

Arrange P, Q, R, S to give its correct sequence.

P: Why? When bright students look around India for a place to study for an advanced degree, they find few top-quality programmes. In the social sciences and humanities, there are a small number of respectable departments, but absolutely none that are considered by international experts as in the top class of academic programmes.

Q: Not only are overseas programmes and departments more prestigious, they also have far better facilities, laboratories and a more favourable culture of research. Top faculty members are often more accessible and it is easier to become affiliated with a laboratory or institute.

R: Post-graduate students from India are increasingly choosing to study abroad. The

U.S. Council of Graduate Schools' new statistics show that offers of admission to Indian postgraduate students are up 25 per cent for

2015-16 from the previous year, compared to a 9 per cent increase for all countries.

S: Thus, if a bright Indian wants to study for a doctorate or even a master's degree at a top department or university in most fields, he or she is forced to study overseas. Further, a degree from a top foreign university tends to be valued more in the Indian job market than a local degree ? a perception based not only on snobbery but also on facts.
