This dataset presents demographic information of 16,012 students admitted to various regional campuses of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. The data are compared against departmental population statistics from the Colombian National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE). The dataset enables comparative analysis of higher education access gaps by employing Gini index calculations to quantify inequality and examine the impact of students’ school background, age, and socioeconomic status. The objective is to identify disparities in access among citizens aged 20–39 compared to the population admitted to higher education programs.
