According to All India Survey on Higher Education (2020-21), the enrollment in Higher Education in India was for the first time more than the following figure.
4 Crore
This question tests knowledge of the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), an annual survey by India's Department of Higher Education that tracks enrollment, institutions, and faculty strength in the country's higher education system.
According to the AISHE report for 2020-21, total enrollment in higher education institutions in India stood at approximately 4.14 crore — and this was the first time enrollment had ever crossed the 4 crore mark.
To reason this out even without memorising the exact figure: Indian higher education enrollment had already surpassed 1.8 crore and 2 crore many years earlier, so those smaller figures cannot be the 'first time crossed' milestone being referred to in a 2020-21 report. Meanwhile, 5 crore is a much higher figure that Indian higher education enrollment has still not reached. That leaves 4 crore as the only figure consistent with being crossed 'for the first time' in AISHE 2020-21.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4 Crore.
