Given below is an article in jumbled form. Arrange P, Q, R, S to make it sensible.

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 post-graduate students are up 25 per cent for 2013-14 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.
