The state has a gross enrolment ratio (GER) of 47%, which is higher than the national average of 28.4%.<\/p>\n<p>The All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) released the GER report for 2021-22. According to the report, Tamil Nadu has the highest GER for higher education.<\/p>\n<p>The GER is calculated by taking the number of people in the age group of 18 to 23 in a state and dividing it by the number of people in that age group who are enrolled in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2021-22 survey, Tamil Nadu topped the list of states with a large population. This proves that Tamil Nadu is the best in education.<\/p>\n<p>According to the 2017-18 report, the GER for undergraduate admissions in Tamil Nadu was 46.2%. The GER for women was 47.7%. This figure rose to 48.1% for men and 49.9% for women in 2019-20.<\/p>\n<p>The GER then fell slightly to 45.4% for men and 48.6% for women in 2020-21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021-22, Tamil Nadu topped the list of states with a GER of 47.0% for men and 47.3% for women.<\/p>\n<p>The list of states in order of their GER is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Tamil Nadu (47.0%)<br \/>\nAndhra Pradesh (36.5%)<br \/>\nKarnataka (36.2%)<br \/>\nMaharashtra (35.3%)<br \/>\nMadhya Pradesh (28.9%)<br \/>\nRajasthan (28.6%)<br \/>\nWest Bengal (26.3%)<br \/>\nUttar Pradesh (24.1%)<br \/>\nGujarat (24.0%)<br \/>\nBihar (17.1%)<br \/>\nIn 2017, the total number of students enrolled in undergraduate education in Tamil Nadu was 73,32,200, of which 37,62,200 were men and 35,70,000 were women.<\/p>\n<p>This number fell slightly in 2019 to 71,82,600. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number fell further to 71,07,800.<\/p>\n<p>The latest survey, conducted in 2021, found that the total number of students enrolled in undergraduate education in Tamil Nadu was 70,33,000. This is a significant decrease from 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Despite topping the list in terms of the number of students enrolled in undergraduate education, the situation in Tamil Nadu has deteriorated since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Tamil Nadu government has introduced a scheme to provide \u20b91,000 per month to women pursuing higher education, only 34,06,000 women enrolled in undergraduate education in 2021. The number of men who enrolled was 36,27,000.<\/p>\n<p>Tamil Nadu needs to work harder to ensure social justice in education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tamil Nadu has topped the country in terms of undergraduate admissions.
