Abstract

The quality of higher education in India has been discussed in different forms as it is really a matter of grave concern. It is surprising to find that everyone who is interested
and has commented on quality of higher education has very little to offer in the debates on equity. In fact in a country like India both the issues need to be discussed as they are going to influence the quality of life. It is universally recognized that those who are admitted in higher education are academically bright. There is no doubt that those who are intelligent and possess the necessary eligibility conditions alone will be admitted in post-secondary education but higher education in our country consisted of several streams and categories. The present chapter focuses on issue of equity in the Indian higher education. In this connection, this chapter divided into four broad sections which are based on Indian higher education system and its challenges from the point of equity. Section one deals with division of Indian society on social hierarchy. Second Section is focuses on rich and poor, urban and rural setting of higher education. Thirdly, related to the technical, management and technical skills in the markets. And finally the fourth Section is based on equity principles and gap between various socio-economical differences in higher education. 

Keywords: Education; Eocio-Economical Differences; Social Hierarchy.
