In the Performance Grading Index (PGI) 2.0 report released by the Ministry of Education for the academic year 2023-24, Chandigarh emerged as the top performer among all States and Union Territories with a score of 703. This made it the only entity to secure the Prachesta-1 grade, which includes scores ranging from 701 to 760. The PGI 2.0 framework, aligned with NEP 2020, evaluates educational systems across six critical domains. Chandigarh’s consistent top performance for the third consecutive year reflects its sustained excellence in areas like learning outcomes, access, equity, infrastructure, governance, and teacher education.
