According to the Election Commission, how many universities does India's higher education sector comprise?
- A.Nearly 700
- B.Nearly 1,000
- C.Nearly 1,500
- D.Nearly 70,000
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is nearly 1,500. The release sets out the scale of the educational network that ELC 2.0 can reach, and says higher education comprises nearly that many universities along with around seventy thousand educational institutions, with an estimated enrolment of 4.33 crore students. Option D is the trap, because that larger figure belongs to the institutions rather than the universities, and the two numbers sit in the same sentence. Options A and B are wrong because neither figure appears in the release. The school side of the network is worth learning alongside it: about fifteen lakh schools, nearly twenty five crore students and more than one crore teachers. Together these numbers explain why the Commission treats the school and college network as its main route to young electors.
