The study has conducted on India's different state based on secondary data published by AISHE (2018) report, Government of India. The study sought to analyze India's Gender Parity and correlate its relation to India's sex ratio. The study has found an imbalance distribution of GPI among India's other states. There is a discernible difference in GPI among economically forward and backward states, general category students, S.C. and S.C. in higher education. Research has also shown that GPI has increased over the past nine years among higher education institutions. The female choice-based course (B.Ed., Nursing, M.Com, M.A., M.Sc.), where female students are substantially higher than male students, has been established. On the other hand, women's participation in such technical courses (B.C.A., B.B.A., L.L.B., B.Tech., M.Tech., M.B.A.) is abysmal. A strong negative correlation (-.64) was observed at a level of .001 between the GPI and the sex ratio. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
