Through the Gaurav Yojana, financial and banking training is provided to students, with a placement goal set for 5,000 students. Additionally, the state has agreements with the British Deputy High Commission for Chevening scholarships and with Infosys Springboard to provide modern computer-based courses in higher education institutions.
Higher Education Minister Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat noted that 100% faculty appointments in higher education have been achieved, with 82% as regular faculty and the remainder as guest faculty. He highlighted the establishment of 51 new college buildings over the last seven years, with more under construction.

Seventy of the state’s 118 degree colleges are now accredited by NAAC, with the goal to achieve 100% accreditation by March 2025.
