Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The ROI for studying at GCCM is calculated by comparing the total investment made by a student with the average placement package they receive after graduation. For instance, if a student invests INR 440000 per year and graduates with an average package of INR 500000, the ROI can be estimated as follows:
ROI Calculation
- Total Investment (2 Years): 880000 INR
- Average Placement Package: 500000 INR
- Net Gain: 500000 - 880000 = -380000 INR
This negative net gain reflects the initial investment required, but when considering the long-term career trajectory and additional opportunities such as higher studies or entrepreneurship, the ROI becomes more favorable. The college's strong alumni network, industry connections, and placement records significantly enhance the overall value proposition for students.
