Student–faculty ratio at SSUS under scrutiny

The low-student-to-high faculty ratio in Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) has come under the scanner.

An assessment made by a Syndicate sub-committee revealed that the low-student-to-high faculty ratio is not financially viable for the varsity. It found that the existing student-to-teacher ratio is 1:7.95. For a total of 2,408 students, there are 303 teachers, with an overall teacher-student ratio of 1:7.95. It was far below the generally recommended teacher-student ratio, ranging between 1:15 to 1:20, it said.
