The recent NIRF Rankings 2024 have highlighted Tamil Nadu's position as a leading state in providing quality higher education in India. Out of the top 300 arts and science colleges in the country, 112 are from Tamil Nadu, accounting for 37.3%. Similarly, in the engineering category, 61 out of 300 institutions belong to Tamil Nadu. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the efforts of the Tamil Nadu government and the Department of Higher Education. It raises the question of whether the central government should consider granting complete autonomy to the state in matters of education. Bringing education to the state list instead of the concurrent list would allow Tamil Nadu to tailor its educational policies and initiatives to best meet the needs of its students and institutions. @EduMinOfIndia @CMOTamilnadu

Transforming Higher Education in Uttar Pradesh: A New Era of Opportunities The Uttar Pradesh State Cabinet has approved the Uttar Pradesh Higher Education Incentive Policy, 2024, aimed at enhancing private participation in the higher education sector, particularly in underserved areas. This innovative policy is designed to meet the growing demand for higher education by increasing the number of institutions, courses, and seats available, enabling more students to pursue their academic goals locally. By harnessing private investment, we can ensure that education aligns with market demands, ultimately creating better employment opportunities for our youth. Key highlights of the policy include: 1. Boosting Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER): Aiming to retain talent and reduce brain drain by offering diverse, quality education options within the state. 2. Job Creation: The establishment of new universities will generate numerous direct and indirect employment opportunities, benefiting various sectors. 3. Incentives for Private Institutions: Offering provisions like stamp duty exemptions and capital subsidies, along with special benefits for top-ranking universities. The cabinet also approved the establishment of two new private universities in Mathura (KD University) and Meerut (Vidya University), marking a significant step towards enhancing educational infrastructure in the region. This initiative is a pivotal move towards UP’s economic growth, aiming for the ambitious $1 trillion mark. Together, let’s support our youth in competing on a global scale! #HigherEducation #UPPolicy #EducationReform #JobCreation #EconomicGrowth #Yogiadityanath #CMUTTARPRADESH #Education #foreignuniversity #UGC #ministryofeducation

Maharashtra government needs to introspect its policy and work related to higher and technical education department. Why the rankings of its institutes are deteriorating? These thoughts are echoed in the Maharashtra Times editorial today. And these are not some foreign rankings. These are our own NIRF rankings.

The number of public education institutes is not increasing, while the number of private ones is increasing very fast, which ultimately increases the cost of education. As B.R. Ambedkar said, "Education is something that ought to be brought within the reach of everyone. The policy of the government is to make higher education as cheap for the middle class as possible.

In 2024, less than 60% of undergraduate seats in Arts and Science colleges in Kerala were filled. In Arts and Science colleges across Kerala, 41% of seats are lying vacant after the completion of admissions for 2024. This figure is 4% higher than the number of vacant seats from the previous year. The most affected institution is Mahatma Gandhi University, located in Central Kerala, where more seats are vacant (55%) than filled.

This year marks the introduction of the four-year undergraduate program in the state, which raises significant concerns and calls for immediate attention.
