Marginalized and vulnerable groups continue to face limited access to quality education, which has emerged as a major concern for policymakers.This paper examines the impact of stratification using recent statistical data from national databases such as Unified District Information System for Education Plus and All India Survey on Higher Education. The study highlights disparities in literacy, enrolment, dropout, and higher education access. Findings indicate that while India has achieved near-universal primary education, inequalities intensify at higher levels due to structural barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Social Stratification, Educational Inequality, Educational Stratification, Caste, Class, Gender Disparity, NEP 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 92-97<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/92-97.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Tarak Nath Bhunia &amp; Dr. Jayanta Mete DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04040013 Abstract: Social stratification, deeply rooted in caste, class, gender, and regional inequalities, continues to influence educational access, participation, and outcomes in India.
