Equity refers to fairness in education, which represents all irrespective of any differences with the
goal of access, participation and progression in education. The study, thus, analyzed students’
equity in terms of access, participation and outcomes at higher education. The data had been
collected from 641 students enrolled in three public sector general universities of the Punjab using
multistage sampling technique. The tool of the study was a self-developed questionnaire,
comprising 65 items on Likert-type scale. The quantitative data analysis included percentage
analysis, correlation, t-test and ANOVA. The study confirmed the link of equitable access and
equitable participation to equitable educational outcomes. The results presented the less positive
situation of equity in public sector higher education, whether related to equitable access to
resources, equitable participation and equitable educational outcomes. Significant differences were
also observed in students’ equity, with respect to family income and mother education. Findings
suggested that the education system needed to commit to the principle of fairness leading to
equitable higher education
