The default admin theme was not provided for the admin pages in which the user role is not admin. Drupal has a module which allows us to add the admin theme to specific pages irrespective of the user role. Below are the steps which I followed to achieve this.

Administration Menu Source module is used to display different menus based on the roles existing in the system. This module is only available in Drupal 7. We can install the module using the following steps : Installation
