The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 targets increasing the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) in higher education to 50_% by 2035. This goal aligns with NEP's vision to make higher education more accessible and inclusive.
- Current GER (pre-NEP 2020): ~26_%
- Target: Doubling enrollment to 50_% by 2035 through measures like multidisciplinary institutions, online education, and financial support.
Thus, the correct answer is (3) 50_%.
