Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) Vice-Chairperson K. Ratna Shiela Mani on Tuesday said that the registration process on the All-India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) portal for the academic years 2025-26 and 2026-27 has been opened by the Union Ministry of Education for the new and unregistered institutions.

In a statement, Prof. Mani said all universities, colleges and standalone institutions in Andhra Pradesh that are yet to obtain the AISHE registration need to complete the process through the AISHE portal at the earliest. Institutions that already have AISHE codes need not register again.

AISHE is an annual web-based survey that collects comprehensive information relating to student enrolment, faculty strength, academic programmes, infrastructure and financial aspects of higher education institutions across the country. The data serves as a vital resource for planning, policy formulation and development of the higher education sector.

Prof. Mani said that the AISHE survey for the academic year 2025-26 had not yet commenced and that the survey schedule and timelines for data submission would be communicated to all institutions after receiving instructions from AISHE, New Delhi.

She appealed to the eligible institutions to complete the registration process promptly to ensure comprehensive coverage and accurate representation of higher education data from Andhra Pradesh in the national database.
