RE: [MTC Global] Higher Education In India, 2011-12 & 2012-13 : AISHE

I am indeed confused. Report after report says that enrollment of students both in management and engineering programs have gone down tremendously across all states, how this number has increased?

Higher Education In India, 2011-12 & 2012-13

 

(Source: AISHE)

 

We can see that higher education has made progress in the two years under review. While all parameters have improved, the figure that really needs watching is the gross enrolment ratio (GER). The GER is the number of college students in the 18-23 age group divided by the total population of that age group (140.36 million). While it was 20.8 in 2011-12, the GER has improved marginally to 21.1 in 2012-13, according to the provisional results of AISHE.

 

In contrast, a report from the British Council points out that India's enrolment rate is well below the global average of 27% and low compared with 26% in China and 36% in Brazil. By 2020, the Indian government aims to achieve 30% gross enrolment, an increase of 9%.

 

Now, here are some other facts:

 

* While 80% students are enrolled in undergraduate level programmes, only 0.3% (84,058 students) were enrolled for Ph.D in 2012-13. This figure was 81,430 (0.5%) at the end of 2011-12. As per the British Council report, only 4,500 PhDs are awarded in science and engineering in India, compared to 30,000 in China and 25,000 in America.

 

* The top seven states, in terms of the highest number of colleges in India, are Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh.

 

* Uttar Pradesh tops the list with the highest number of student enrolment, followed by Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

 

* While 73% of colleges are privately managed, 58% are private‐unaided (no help from the government, which means higher fees for students) and 14% private‐ aided (government provides some grant for infrastructure development and academic activities).

 

* While Andhra Pradesh has more than 80% private‐unaided colleges, Bihar has only 6.3% and Assam 9.5% private‐unaided colleges.
