The aim of the National Education Policy, 2020, is to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio in higher education by 2035 to

A35%

B26.3%

C50% ✓ Correct

D40%

Correct answer: (C) 50%

Explanation

NEP 2020 targets a 50% gross enrolment ratio in higher education by 2035.

A figure of 35 percent understates the policy's target.

The 26.3 percent figure reflects a past enrolment level, not the goal.

A target of 40 percent is not the stated aim.

The ratio measures higher-education enrolment against the eligible age group.

The policy also plans to add crores of new seats to reach this level.
