Because over 130 colleges have failed to submit data for the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), the Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore (Madhya Pradesh) is considering to extend the deadline for collecting data for the AISHE.
“Despite the fact that DAVV’s deadline expired on Monday, some 130 institutions have yet to upload data to the AISHE website.
We may extend the deadline to allow them one further opportunity to provide AISHE with information regarding teachers, students, available facilities, and infrastructure.” According to Rajeev Dixit, director of the DAVV College Development Council,
He, however, stated that so far no decision has been taken on extension of deadline.
If the colleges did not upload information required for AISHE they will be deprived of all types of grants given by the state government.
In a letter addressed to heads of institutions of higher learning in the state, DAVV registrar Anil Sharma said the colleges failed to upload the required information on AISHE’s website their institutes won’t be provided with any grant.
He also stated that action against erring colleges would be taken as per rules of the Union Ministry of Education. Online window for uploading information on AISHE website was opened in December. But several colleges have still not provided their details for AISHE.
The Union Ministry of Education’s survey covers all the institutions in the country engaged in imparting higher education. Data is being collected on several parameters such as teachers, student enrolment, programmes, examination results, education finance and infrastructure.
Indicators of educational development such as institution density, gross enrolment ratio, pupil-teacher ratio, gender parity index, per-student expenditure are also calculated from the data collected through AISHE.
The objective of collecting the data is to make informed policy decisions and research for the development of education sector.
