There is no minimum educational qualification required in India to become a politician. Unlike other government jobs, political leaders need no educational or extracurricular qualifications in order to hold the position of a minister. The only qualification required is that the candidate should be the citizen of India and minimum age limit is 25 years. A country’s political structure plays a very crucial role in the growth of country. At least minimum education is required for politicians as they are the representatives of the society upon whom people rely. Legislators are responsible for drafting and passing laws. An educated representative's legal literacy enables them to craft well-structured, fair, and constitutionally sound legislation. Illiterate people are a burden to the country because they are ignorant of the rights and responsibilities guaranteed under the Constitution. A law should be passed in the country about minimum educational qualification required for a person to become politician. Politicians should at least have a universal degree whether it be in any field.
