Therefore, defining the percentage of total enrolment in higher education with the eligible people in the age group of 18-23 is also called as Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER). The GER in the year 2015-16 was 24.5 percent. However, it was only 10 percent in the year 2004-05.

The statistics reveal that emphasis on higher education has increased over a projected period of ten years and the government will work consistently to improve the GER. Mr. Pandey explained that there is a need to improve enrollment in girls education and HRD Ministry is working on it.
