All 4 Documented Cases
अतिरिक्त कार्य घंटे और प्रशासनिक अधिभार
₹40,000–80,000 per faculty/year in hidden overtime (8–12 unpaid hours/week × ₹400–600/hour shadow cost × 48 weeks). For 100-faculty institution: ₹40–80 lakhs/year. Plus 15–25% stress-related medical/wellness costs: ₹5–12 lakhs/year additional.Faculty working 45–55 hours/week (teaching + admin + research + grading) with no formal compensation. Senior faculty carry 8.2 hours/week admin vs. junior 5.8 hours—unequal distribution. 68% report poor work-life balance in private colleges. Adjunct contracting lacks standardized allocation criteria, forcing ad-hoc assignments that exceed capacity.
अनुसंधान उत्पादन में कमी और शैक्षणिक प्रभाव
₹15–30 lakhs/year per 100-faculty institution: 1–2 lost publications/faculty/year × 50 faculty × ₹3–6 lakhs impact per publication (in grants foregone, citation impact, ranking weight).Teaching-heavy faculty (45 of 120 = 37.5%) report <6 hours/week research vs. research-focused (23.3%) with >12 hours. Faculty explicitly state: 'My publications have decreased significantly since joining.' Administrative interruptions (urgent tasks, committee work) further erode research time. Senior faculty carry heavier admin loads, paradoxically reducing their research despite greater experience.
शिक्षण गुणवत्ता में गिरावट और छात्र परिणाम जोखिम
₹25–50 lakhs/year per 500-student institution: (1) Student attrition due to poor course ratings: 20–50 students/year leaving × ₹2–3 lakhs fee/student = ₹40–150 lakhs lost (conservative: 5% impact = ₹7–15 lakhs). (2) Accreditation downgrade risk: NAAC/AICTE deductions for teaching quality → loss of autonomy, reputational damage, future enrollment drop (₹20–30 lakhs annual impact).Faculty in teaching-heavy roles (37.5% of sample) report inadequate preparation time, rushed grading, and reduced student-faculty interaction. Administrative overload (>10 hours/week) correlates with reduced research output AND teaching effectiveness. Emotional exhaustion from poor WLB directly degrades teaching. Adjunct faculty, often on short-term contracts, have low incentive to invest in teaching excellence (no long-term career stake).
संकाय प्रतिधारण हानि और अनुचित कर्मचारी कारोबार
₹40–80 lakhs/year per 100-faculty institution: 12–15 faculty departures/year × ₹3–5.5 lakhs cost per departure (recruitment, onboarding, training, interim backfill, productivity loss during ramp-up).68% of private college faculty report poor work-life balance; female and <35-year-old cohorts particularly affected (dual role conflict cited). Studies show 'institutional loyalty increases when educators feel supported.' No formal WLB frameworks in private colleges vs. public institutions. Adjunct contracts often lack clarity on renewal, hours, or career progression, increasing perceived instability.
