Importance of Higher Education in making people empowered socially, economically as well as politically is felt by each educated individual. It has the main responsibility of equipping individuals with advanced knowledge and skills to develop them as fully capable citizen. Today, higher education has been finding it difficult to meet the challenges of global market demand leading to creation of educated unemployment, student unrest, ain drain and couple of collateral problems. Consequently, different challenges have appeared before the system in the country and states. Maintenance of quality, lack of success in achieving excellence, no criteria for admission in some colleges, high dropout rates, lack of proper infrastructure, student-teacher ratio problem, privatization, problem to access to higher education etc. are some issues that came into light when status of higher education was analyzed in the study area. While this paper maintains a national orientation, prime focus is given on varied aspects of higher education in the state of Assam.</span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
