bachelor's degree programme in local or overseas institutions, or situations where students are admitted with multiple qualifications being major
4. Figures in brackets denote percentage share to respective totals.
5. Since some UGC-funded programmes are related to more than one APC, their students of these programmes are counted across the APCs concerned on
a pro-rata basis. Thus the student numbers of some APCs are decimal figures which are rounded to the nearest whole number. As such, figures may not
add up to the corresponding totals. The figure zero represents less than 0.5.
6. ‘-’ denotes ‘nil’.
