Draft report of

5.2 Financial Requirements for Higher Education

As discussed above, although the SES underestimates enrolment in higher education, it fairly represents the higher education sector.

5.2.1 Recurrent expenditure per student. In order to estimate the requirement of recurrent expenditure per student in general higher education, two estimates, both conservatively defined, have been prepared.

5.2.2 Norm based requirements. There are various criteria for norm-based estimates to find out the per student recurrent expenditure requirement in higher education. The per student recurrent expenditure requirement works out to be Rs 26,250. The relevant comparisons and adjustments are shown in Annexure Table 1.
