Best Answer

Because given the sheer size of India and the corresponding necessary size of a civil service, it would have been impossible for the British to rule India through a civil service that they would then have had to import from Great Britain.

As it was, the Indian civil service adapted well to British laws and regulations and to Western-style administration. This made it possible for the British to have a efficient administration of India with a minimum of Staff imported from Britain.

Is the BTech degree from Lovely professional university has vailidity for civil service exams in INDIA?

Yes, B.tech from Lovely professional University is eligible for civil service. When a student fills a form of Civil service exam, he has to fill his qualification, there is a list of universities and LPU name is there. Whereas names of fake and blacklisted universities is not there. I read in newspaper that indian navy selected some students from lpu campus, so if indian navy is selecting students then no organization is higher than indian army/navy.

Who was the British prime minister of India?

Britain did not have a Prime Minister in India when it was a part of the British Empire; instead it had a Viceroy, who was appointed by the British Government and whose functions were somewhere between Prime Minister and President of the Colonial Government. Before it was ruled directly by the British Crown, India was run by the East India Company, a British trading and industrial conglomerate whose malpractice and lack of regard for the Indian people led to the Indian Mutiny of 1856. After this had been suppressed, the Company was forced to hand over Indian governance directly to the UK government and civil service. It was then that the position of Viceroy was created- there were a great number of Viceroys covering the ensuing 90 year period in between the end of the Mutiny and Indian Independence, and it wouldn't be possible to list them all here, but if you Google 'Viceroys of India', the Wikipedia page on the subject will give you a full list of them.
