What is the University's 'unit cost' of education? (Unit cost = total annual expenditure (budget accruals) divided by the number of students enrolled) Unit cost calculated excluding the salary component may also be given.
Total annual expenditure with salary component Rs.144.5 Crores No. of students enrolled about 18,500 Unit Cost Rs.78,108/Total annual expenditure excluding salary component Rs.59.60 Crores No. of students enrolled about 18,500 Unit Cost Rs.32,221/PAGE NO. | 39
It is expected that due to filling up of current vacant posts and also creation of new posts for new courses, the salary component is likely to substantially increase in the next 5 years. When the increase in existing teachers’ salaries are included, the total expenditure including salaries is likely to double from Rs.144.5 Crores per annum to about Rs.289 Crores per annum. There would be a similar increase in the total annual expenditure excluding salary component from the present Rs.84.90 Crores to about Rs.169 Crores. The number of students during the said period is likely to increase from the current 18,500 to about 25,000. Hence, in the next 5 years, the cost per student including salary expenditure will amount to Rs.1,15, 600 per annum. Similarly, the cost per student, after 5 years, excluding the salary component, will amount to Rs.67, 600.
