Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The return on investment for the degree program at GCST is favorable, considering the average placement package and the total cost of education over eight semesters.
Total Cost of Education = 96,000 × 8 = 7,68,000 INR
Average Placement Package = 6,50,000 INR
ROI = (Average Package - Total Cost) / Total Cost × 100 = (6,50,000 - 7,68,000) / 7,68,000 × 100 ≈ -15.3%
While the initial ROI appears negative, this is due to the high cost of education compared to the average package. However, considering long-term career growth and potential for higher packages, the ROI improves significantly.
