Employment News

Employment News-The interest of the youth towards higher education is increasing continuously in the state. According to the All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) report 2020 released recently by the Ministry of Education, Chhattisgarh has seen an increase of nearly 60 percent in the number of PhD students in the last five years.

In the year 2016, where 690 people were doing PhD, now in 2020 their number has reached 1,515. However, due to the guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission regarding MPhil, the trend has reduced. Now youth after doing post graduate (PG) start doing PhD directly. At the same time, the number of youth enrolling in undergraduate (UG) is also increasing continuously.

Here so many colleges per lakh population

There are 26 colleges per lakh population in the state. The state's Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) is 18.5 percent, while the country's GER is 27.1. So far, the reason for the low enrollment level is believed to be less number of colleges in rural areas. In order to increase the level of admission, the state government has now abolished the upper age limit of 25 for graduate and 27 for postgraduate in higher education. Now anyone can take admission in any faculty.
