It could be observed that the number of private institutes was far higher than public institutes and that for non-sectarian institutes was the highest followed by sectarian institutes and then public sector institutes. However, the growth in the percentage private of higher education institutes out of total higher education institutes was greater than the growth in the percentage of enrolments in private higher education out of total enrolments in higher education institutes.

However, the discipline of Maritime observed high growth in terms of both enrolment and graduates. A rise in the programs accredited could be observed over a period of the decade under study.
