How do we calculate it?
See the formula and a worked example.Our ROI model uses four inputs tied to your selected university and course:
University & fee structure
Program & degree level (UG/PG)
Total investment (tuition + living costs)
5-year post-graduation earning projection
We combine official fee data with average placement packages sourced from university NIRF submissions and verified placement reports. Salary projections assume gradual year-on-year growth based on industry trends for each stream.
Packages reflect median outcomes for regular full-time programs. Specialized roles, higher studies, or entrepreneurship paths may differ from these averages.

Formula to Calculate University ROI
ROI = (5-Year Earnings − Total Investment) ÷ Total Investment × 100
5-Year Earnings = sum of projected annual salaries for 5 years after graduation, adjusted for placement rate and expected salary growth.
Example: Manipal University — BCA (UG, 3 Years)
Total Investment: ₹9,18,000 (tuition + hostel & other × 3 years)
Avg. Starting Package: ₹4,80,000/year
5-Year Projected Returns: ₹31,39,000 (with ~15% annual salary growth)
ROI = (31,39,000 − 9,18,000) ÷ 9,18,000 × 100
ROI = (22,21,000 ÷ 9,18,000) × 100
ROI ≈ 242% (Strong positive return)
