Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The return on investment for students at ANU is one of the most critical aspects of evaluating the value proposition of the university. With an average starting salary of INR 15 lakhs per annum, students can expect to recoup their investment within approximately 3-4 years post-graduation.
Assuming a total investment of INR 28.4 lakhs over four years (including tuition, hostel, and mess fees), the average graduate earns INR 15 lakhs annually. Therefore, it takes about 1.9 years to break even on the initial investment, after which students begin to realize a positive return.

The ROI improves further when considering factors such as career growth, leadership opportunities, and entrepreneurship potential, all of which contribute to long-term wealth creation.
