Engineering is the only undergraduate programme in the country that has registered a decline in student enrollment over the last five years even as overall admission numbers have increased at the Bachelor’s level, shows the latest report of the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) released by the Education Ministry Sunday night.
According to the latest edition of The All India Higher Education Survey (AISHE) released last night student enrollment in engineering programmes in the regular (or full-time) mode has dropped by 10% from 40.85 lakh in 2016-17 to 36.63 lakh in 2020-21, even as overall admission numbers have increased in all other programmes at the Bachelor’s level.
