According to the current estimate, the gross enrolment ratio in higher education in India is around 27 percent, which is expected to be increased to which figure by the end of 2035?

The gross enrolment ratio in Indian higher education, at around 27 percent, is targeted to rise to 50 percent by the end of 2035.

NEP 2020 sets this fifty percent goal to greatly widen access to higher education.

A figure of 30 percent falls short of the ambitious target set in the policy.

A figure of 40 percent is still below the enrolment goal envisaged for 2035.

A figure of 60 percent overshoots the stated fifty percent target.

Reaching this ratio would require a large expansion of institutional capacity and equitable access.
