Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The ROI for graduates of APG SU is calculated based on the total fee paid versus the average package received post-graduation. For example, a student paying Rs. 150,000 annually over four years would have invested approximately Rs. 600,000 in their education.
With an average starting salary of Rs. 500,000, the ROI is calculated as follows:
ROI = (Average Package - Total Investment) / Total Investment × 100
ROI = (500,000 - 600,000) / 600,000 × 100 = -16.7%
This negative ROI indicates that the investment may not yield immediate returns, but it reflects the long-term value of quality education and career growth opportunities.
