India has the largest population in the higher education age group (18–23 years) in the world, estimated to be about 150 million. However, the number of students enrolled in colleges is about 34 million only, unlike school education, where access is almost universal. According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (2018), the gross enrollment ratio (GER) in this sector is about 25.2 (2016–17), which means out of every 100 eligible students, only 25 or so go for higher education.

Abstract


India has the largest population in the higher education age group (18–23 years) in the world, estimated to be about 150 million. However, the number of students enrolled in colleges is about 34 million only, unlike school education, where access is almost universal. According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (2018), the gross enrollment ratio (GER) in this sector is about 25.2 (2016–17), which means out of every 100 eligible students, only 25 or so go for higher education.
