Analyzing Student Enrollment Data to Find the Highest Year

The question asks us to identify the year with the highest total student enrollment across five different courses based on the provided table.

To find the year with the highest student enrollment, we need to calculate the total number of students enrolled in all courses for each given year (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020).

The maximum number of seats mentioned in the brackets for each course is not relevant to finding the total enrollment in a specific year. We only need to sum the enrollment numbers given for each course in a particular year.

Courses 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
BTech (60) 45 55 48 53 50
MCA (60) 52 56 43 40 46
MTech (30) 25 26 21 23 28
Mphil (20) 16 18 14 15 13
Integrated MTech (30) 26 24 25 23 27

Calculating Total Enrollment Per Year

Let's calculate the total enrollment for each year:

  • Year 2016: Sum of enrollments in BTech, MCA, MTech, Mphil, and Integrated MTech.
  • Total Enrollment (2016) = $45 + 52 + 25 + 16 + 26$
  • Total Enrollment (2016) = $164$
  • Year 2017: Sum of enrollments in BTech, MCA, MTech, Mphil, and Integrated MTech.
  • Total Enrollment (2017) = $55 + 56 + 26 + 18 + 24$
  • Total Enrollment (2017) = $179$
  • Year 2018: Sum of enrollments in BTech, MCA, MTech, Mphil, and Integrated MTech.
  • Total Enrollment (2018) = $48 + 43 + 21 + 14 + 25$
  • Total Enrollment (2018) = $151$
  • Year 2019: Sum of enrollments in BTech, MCA, MTech, Mphil, and Integrated MTech.
  • Total Enrollment (2019) = $53 + 40 + 23 + 15 + 23$
  • Total Enrollment (2019) = $154$
  • Year 2020: Sum of enrollments in BTech, MCA, MTech, Mphil, and Integrated MTech.
  • Total Enrollment (2020) = $50 + 46 + 28 + 13 + 27$
  • Total Enrollment (2020) = $164$

Comparing Total Enrollments

Now, let's compare the total enrollment for each year:

  • 2016: 164
  • 2017: 179
  • 2018: 151
  • 2019: 154
  • 2020: 164

By comparing these totals, we can see that the highest student enrollment was 179, which occurred in the year 2017.

Conclusion: Year with Highest Student Enrollment

Based on the calculations, the year with the highest student enrollment is 2017.

Revision Table: Student Enrollment Analysis

Year Total Enrollment
2016 164
2017 179
2018 151
2019 154
2020 164

This table clearly shows that 2017 had the maximum total enrollment.

Additional Information: Data Analysis Techniques

Analyzing data presented in tables is a common task in many fields. To answer questions based on tables, you often need to:

  • Understand what each row and column represents.
  • Perform calculations like summing, averaging, or finding maximum/minimum values based on the question.
  • Compare results to draw conclusions.
  • Pay attention to any notes provided with the table, although in this case, the maximum seats information was extraneous to the specific question asked.

These skills are important for interpreting data accurately and efficiently.
