The study estimated gender disparity index, Theil’s inequality index and Discriminant analysis. As per the study in the reference period the average gross enrolment rate of women in higher education was lower (41.45) than that of men (58.55). The gender disparity index in enrolment in higher education was found to be the highest in Bihar and lowest in Kerala. The estimated Theil’s inequality index in higher education, number of colleges was found to be higher (0.2344). The estimated discriminate function was statistically valid as indicated by Mahalanobis ‘D’ squared value is 5.727. Enrolment rate in higher education was found to be the highest in Andhra Pradesh and lowest in Bihar.
