Anirban Das, Soumen Nandi, and Kajla Basu

Abstract—E-learning has now revolutionized the way of learning process across the world. Following the conventional systems of learning, the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) of West Bengal is not at all optimistic. To enhance the enrollments and diminish the drop outs in higher education in West Bengal, e-learning can be a better way out. In this paper an attempt has been made to forecast the increase in higher education enrollments and decrease in drop outs in higher education. Through Fuzzy Delphi Forecasting techniques views are collected from experts regarding the increase of higher education enrollments and decrease of drop outs through web enabled learning systems in comparison to the traditional learning systems.

Index Terms—Drop outs, e-learning, enrollment, Fuzzy Delphi Forecasting, GER
