Panjab University’s once-thriving self-financed courses, hailed as ‘money spinners,’ are now facing a ten-year stretch of financial losses. Despite their initial success and ability to attract students, these courses have struggled to maintain profitability over the past decade.
What’s Happening? A range of factors are to blame, including high operational costs, fluctuating student enrollments, and limited government funding. These challenges have left the university searching for sustainable ways to keep these courses running without compromising quality.
Why It Matters for Students For students, this financial strain could mean higher fees or fewer resources available in self-financed courses. Understanding the current situation helps both prospective and current students make more informed decisions about their educational paths.
Future of Self-Financed Courses at PU Panjab University is actively looking for solutions, from restructuring course fees to seeking additional funding sources. While the road to recovery may be long, the university aims to make these courses financially viable once more.
