Optimizing student intake numbers in high-demand streams. Managing regulatory filings, physical asset audits, and compliance checks to expand class capacities.
Expanding intake capacity (e.g. from 60 to 120 or 180 seats in CSE or MBA) is one of the fastest levers to increase tuition revenue, but requires meeting strict regulatory guidelines.
TESS manages the entire process: auditing physical square meters of classrooms, computing student-faculty ratio (SFR) requirements, compiling land-use certificate compliance sheets, and preparing documents for inspections.
Our advisory helps you secure seat increases in high-demand streams while maintaining complete regulatory compliance.
