PRAYAGRAJ: Despite efforts to boost the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education, the number of students enrolling in traditional courses in Uttar Pradesh has declined in the 2024-25 academic session, according to government data.

Surprisingly, this drop comes even as the number of private universities and colleges in the state has increased. The data reveals a decrease of approximately 1.5 lakh students compared to the previous academic year.
