Madhya Pradesh Colleges need to submit data for Higher Education Survey by Sept 15

Department of Higher Education has requested every college in Madhya Pradesh to provide detailed data for All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) for the 2024–25 academic year by September 15.

The exercise is conducted annually since 2010–11 and helps the government make an assessment of the prevailing status and quality of higher education in the country.

According to instructions, institutions are required to provide information for nearly 80 parameters such as student intake, availability of teachers, teacher-student ratio, programs offered, seats, laboratories, computer laboratories, playgrounds, infrastructure, financial endowments, scholarships, gross enrollment ratio and gender parity index.

This year, newly opened colleges such as those that opened in Indore, Dhar, Alirajpur and Jhabua will be requested only to get registered on the portal since admissions have been conducted there for the first time. They will be required to share complete data from the next academic session onwards.

DAVV sends instructions to 190 colleges

Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV), being the nodal institution of its affiliate colleges, sent a letter to 190 colleges falling under it ordering them to display the required data on time.

DCDC director Dr Rajeev Dixit verified that the same instructions have been issued to the other regions of the state encompassing around 1,360 government and private colleges.

Objective of the survey

AISHE survey aims to provide a comprehensive view of higher education in India so that the government is able to identify infrastructure gaps, faculty strength and resources, and monitoring enrollment as well as inclusiveness. The information collected forms the basis for decision-making through policy making as well as improvement in the higher education system
