DAVV had threatened colleges of disaffiliation if they failed to submit their details about students, faculty, facilities, infrastructure etc on AISHE portal till January 20. However, the deadline was then extended to February 20.

The Union ministry of education's survey covers all the institutions in the country engaged in imparting higher education. Data is being collected on several parameters—such as teachers, student enrolment, programmes, examination results, education finance and infrastructure. Indicators of educational development—such as institution density, gross enrolment ratio, pupil-teacher ratio, gender parity index and per student expenditure—are also calculated from the data collected through AISHE. The objective of collecting the data is to make informed policy decisions and research for the development of the education sector.
