Abstract: Abstract This study is an attempt to look at the change in the regional disparity in the likelihood of educational transition from lower to higher levels of education from pre to the post-liberalization period. Secondly, we try to investigate the association between the likelihood of educational participation and educational transition from one to the next level of education and two labour market outcomes, such as likelihood of getting employment and expected earnings after the completion of education. This enables us to comment on the impact of the labour market outcomes on educational participation vis-à-vis this allows us to explain the reasons behind the inter-regional disparity in educational transition and overtime persistence of this disparity. For the accomplishment of these objectives we use the datasets provided by six quinquennial employment and unemployment surveys conducted by National Sample Survey Offices and third annual Periodic Labour Force Survey (2019–20), and we employ the sequential logistic model of regression. Findings reveal that there was a substantial regional disparity in educational participation and educational transition in school and college/university education across Indian states, though this disparity had declined satisfactorily in school education without any satisfactory decline in college/university education from pre-liberalization to post-liberalization period.
