Sir André Béteille is right in saying that our public institutions, including educational bodies, have _(a)_ because of corrupt politicians and _(b)_ bureaucrats. The government has monopolized public sectors and this has led to a steep _(c)_ of standards in every state-owned institution.

As a result, there was no motivation for public industries to perform _(e)_ .Whereas a private company is _(f)_ to its stakeholders, a public sector unit is managed by bureaucrats under a minister. Politicians, as we all know, are always keen to undertake _(g)_ policies to the _(h)_ of public companies. The bureaucrats who run them also _(i)_ have any interest or obligation to set a premium standard of service. A public institution, therefore, is inherently _(j)_ to failure.

When we use "decline of standards".
We mean decline of total standards and not just a particular segment of standards but all the segments considered as a whole. But, when we use "Decline in standards" we have the official permission to dwell in the insider category of the particular segment of standards. There we can correlate/compare one segment of standard with other.
