Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
The average starting salary for instrumentation graduates is around 600,000 INR per annum. Given that the total fee for the program is approximately 630,000 INR over two years, the ROI is calculated as follows:
ROI = (Average Salary - Total Fee) / Total Fee
ROI = (600,000 - 630,000) / 630,000 = -0.0476 or -4.76%
While the initial investment seems slightly negative, it should be noted that salaries tend to increase significantly with experience and career progression. The ROI improves considerably over time as alumni advance in their careers.
