Answer

Exam answer

(d) Should be a graduate from any university in India..

Explanation

There is NO educational qualification for membership of either House of Parliament — a member need not be a graduate. So (d) is not a requirement. The other three are genuine: Indian citizenship, not being an undischarged insolvent, and a minimum age of 30 for the Rajya Sabha (25 for the Lok Sabha). The absence of an education requirement is deliberate: it keeps Parliament open to every citizen in a country where many could not attend university.

In words

Should be a graduate from any university in India..
